Weaving

In smaller villages, the women use portable looms to weave their clothing--this weekend I got to learn how to use one! It was very difficult--you have to use your whole body when you use a smaller loom, but after a couple of mishaps, I finally got the hang of it!

Visiting an Organic Farm

This weekend we visited an organic farm.  While at the farm, we learned about building eco-friendly houses and about farming without pesticides.  The farm was beautiful and relaxing--I learned a lot too!

Visiting Northern Thailand

My Bed

This weekend we stayed at a Buddhist novice camp in Northern Thailand.  While we lived there, we helped make bricks, we taught the novices some English, and we observed a Buddhist Longevity ceremony.  Overall, it was a great weekend and I learned a lot!
