I am a bit at a loss for words. Your videos and method of presentation have been so accessible, so compelling…the story just tells itself. (and I absolutely loved your observation about how Mr Thuan waited for you to “get” his jokes).
I am sure you must miss your home and creature comforts, but I want to hear and see more of these survivors.

So inspiring to see how directly the work of LSN improves the ability of survivors to help themselves. Do you compare notes with other AP Fellows who have worked with LSN in other countries? How does your local network identify the groups, individuals, or villages that can most benefit from your work?

So by pooling their efforts, they help to reduce costs and increase profits? Logical question is whether microcredit could help – as it is doing with the blind people in Bangladesh. The use of microcredit to empower people with disability is new, but catching on. Perhaps your hosts could exploire this idea? Agencies might be delighted ot help…… All in all, very good material.
