Akha thanksgiving celebration!


Singing Hymns in traditional Akhan dress.


A wonderful and inspiring time of thanking God for the first fruits of the land, the produce that they labored over with their own hands.

This Akhan man was the first to graduate from university. He just completed a P.H.D in leadership development I think. His story is really amazing. Against so many odds, he did really well in school, got a Thai ID card at the last moment so he could attend college and has since labored for the well being of his people. He started a home for poor hill tribe students to live while they attend school away from their family as well as a seminary for the Akha people who wish to study the bible.
