I have a few moments to quickly update my site - mostly with pictures, but also a very quick written report:

• Last week Laos (as well as neighbouring countries) celebrated "Pi Mai" (New Year). I went for a holiday to Luang Prabang, and had a great time getting wet and wetting others, as is custom at this festival during the hottest time of year!
• Life is very busy now that ADRA Laos doesn't have a country director and I'm covering for this lack, though we should have a new director early May, hopefully!
• One event to note from work is the signing of MOUs for two of our projects - which got national newspaper coverage.
• Needless to say I have only managed a few hours work on my thesis updates so far - while on my holiday in Luang Prabang!
