Johnny and I enjoying a parting dinner and ceremony with our host parents in Nawng Po village, a community severely affected by the Pak Mun Dam. I would very much like to note that the near-week spent with this family in this village was one of the more beautiful - simultaneously heart-warming and heart-breaking - experiences of my short life thus far.
