Jane, Maggie, Hannah and I had the most fun working together with villagers of Lueng Nok Tha district to educate and encourage interest in organic agriculture in Yasothorn Province. After surveying locals at the municipal market, meeting with public health officials and the mayor of Lueng Nok Tha; together with an NGO we held a forum for residents in the area. Villagers who currently grow organic produce spoke about their experiences, and we put together a powerpoint detailing our survey results and why we think eating local, organic food is important in Thailand. A huge thank you to our Ajaans for their incredible efforts throughout it all.
Getting a tour of the farmer's school, where they teach the children organic farming practices
Beautiful greens at the market
Just a vendor and her pup!

Ended our forum with plenty of time for a photoshoot....or two
There's really no better way than a true Isaan feast to celebrate the end of an incredible semester!
