Dear Friends: Back to the Home Page www.akha.org
The Appeal to the Queen of Thailand video is there. As well as a statement to UNESCO and a discussion of their website. I do some oil painting as I have time, and so I put the first one up on the website for sale. Michu and the kids will get some more artwork of theirs to put up and maybe some other Akha may put some artwork up here too. Did you see that? Marijuana is now the US's biggest crop? More than corn and wheat? And to think that the DEA was busy busting little old Akhas for some opium in Laos, and the US is the biggest Narco State out there according to David Alexander's stats on Reuters news. Also worth noting since American missionaries and others were always using the excuse that the FATHERS were involved in drugs so it justified taking the kids away. ACF hasn't coughed up their English report yet. There is a book out, The King Never Smiles, about Thailand and the Royalty. Interesting reading. Since we continue to fight to help the Akha get back the land of Hooh Yoh and since the Royals are always taking more and more hilltribe land. Have a good week.
