A HOUSE FOR THE TWINS
Thanks to generous donations from friends abroad we could start thinking about a house for another family. Planning starts now. It's for a family of five: Sridee, the dad, is 35 and the mom, Jha Fong, is 32. Wichit is 9 and the twin girls, Sei-Phon and Sri-Phan are 4. Our aim with these houses is to encourage entire villages. As they watch a new home go up, they often pitch in, learn practical, inexpensive methods. Sometimes they are inspired to upgrade their own homes as well. This is the bedroom, for five people. No light, no fan, no mosquito netting, no blankets We contacted the superintendent of hill tribe schools in the Mae Daeng District, about three hours due north of Chiang Mai. He and his teachers picked the five families most in need of a house. We picked a family in Baan Mae Gok, in part because of the isolation of the village and the problems of getting materials to the site. We hope to show the villagers what's possible even with challenges and
