I'm amazed at how extensively Mickey Mouse travels this planet. I've visited Mexico, Ecuador, Bolivia, Ethiopia, Congo, India and Thailand; and every place I go, I find myself thinking "wow, Mickey Mouse". I used to think I was following him, but now I think he's also following me. Almost any place I've returned to where I've done work, I again think "Mickey Mouse". I thought I saw him today: one boy showed me a dead rodent. I asked him what it was, and he said a word somewhere between "ja" and "ye". So it wasn't Mickey - I'll probably continue to find Mickey Mouse wherever I go.
The good news is, there are other workers here who don't get trailed so much by the Californian rodent.

| Damlawa is getting really good at making furniture. If there's something to make, he'll figure out how to do it, then how to improve it. |
 |
| After all my attempts to make a well-functioning crib, Damlawa made this bamboo swinging crib. He should patent this thing. |
 |
| Yazeh started helping Damlawa just before I came this year. He's very helpful - he likes to take my projects over sometimes, but that's okay since I have lots to do. |

| I got to work with a fellow Okanagan resident last Wednesday. Dave and his family are from Kelowna. They work for Imagine Thailand, putting in water purification systems for immigrant/refugee schools. |
 |
| These Karen guys work with Dave, and know all about putting together and using the filters. |
 |
| Here's the system Imagine Thailand donated to the school. The water from it tastes great. |
