After 10 days collecting the most incredible moving stories from the people of Xieng Khouang Province, we have returned safely to Vientiane.
Xieng Khouang is the most heavily bombed province in the most heavily bombed country per capita in the world.
Thanks once again to MAG for their assistance and in particular to our outstanding translator Long.
Today, after months of planning, organising, stressing and fund raising, I am finally heading back to Xieng Khouang Province to work on the part of my project which explores the effect of Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) on the rural population of Laos. I’m working in collaboration with the Mines Advisory Group (MAG) and my friend and colleague Rebecca Harley on a new photofilm and an editorial feature as well as add to my growing collection of images about rural Lao women.
We will be back in Vientiane on the 18th of November but may not have email access during the time…
