The boat ride was not very long until we reached the next village where Tik is from. She saw her uncle and brother. Her mother works in Vientiane, Laos and was not there. Tik lives with Chansouk and his wife and goes to school in Luang Prabang. She does not get home often with it being so far away so I know she was happy she could go with us. Tik is the second girl from the right. 
Last year this village requested help to build a toilet for the community. Below is the two seater they have constructed. They needed a few hundred dollars to complete it but that is all the assistance we gave this village this year. Tik's family are the only Christians (5 in number) and the village leader is from a denomination. The toilet is nice and will be of great help but the village is still poor just like all the rest. The houses and living conditions are the same.
