My busy bee life

In less than two weeks, I have engaged myself in so many activities.  Now I know why I am exhausted.  For example - in a meeting with Lao Oz Foundation.    L to R: Viradeth (Bill) Chitdamrong, Vonevaly (Von) Vongthevanh, Viphavady (Vicky) Rattanavong, Thevarack (Andrew) Ditthavong and Parinya (Parry) Sanixay and myself.
 A visit by Solicitor Sengdeuane Do to our SWR FM99.9 on a Sunday afternoon where I broadcast and produce news in Lao language.
 Co-teach a Sunday Lao class for adults with Bill Chitdamrong.  L to R: Students Gavin, Luke, myself, Bill, Marnie and Manoly.  Very serious students - they all now are on top of all consonants and vowels and manage to read and write simple sentences.  Good on you!
 Attend a festival organised by a Muslim community after the Ramadan (one of month of fasting during the day until sunset) is over at Fairfield showground.
Driving a coach, seriously!  
 Taking the Lao voice over group to Fox Studio to record for different scenes for the new movie "The Rocket" or "ບັ້ງ​ໄຟ"​.  L to R: Pauline, Khamsene, Bounhom, Bounlay, Vicky, Cassandra, Phonlavouth and Somphanh.
The ladies during a recording session.  From L to R:  Cassandra, Bounhom, Pauline, Bounlay and Vicky.
 Listening to a presentation in Lao language by student Gavin.  Well done Gavin!
 Looking after Khamsene who was sick due to Sydney flu.  Everybody got it, so did he.  Poor thing!
 With sister Fongchanh on the day she was handed the key to her new house in Middleton Grange.  A lovely 3 bedroom house in a quiet surrounding, green environment and very friendly neighbours.
 In front of the new house.  A pity they are not going to move in because they already got a house in Bonnyrigg.
Cooking for newphews and nieces.  All the kids can eat spicy paw paw salad now (ຕຳ​ໝາກ​ຮຸ່ງ).  They can also eat khao niou (ເຂົ້າ​ໜຽວ) using their hands.

L to R:  Tina Phoumindr (her Dad Soukanh), Tammy and Dennis Phounsavanh.
