Big Brother Mouse

6 October, 2010, Ban Phakengnori, Laos

Book party: Book parties are one way that Big Brother Mouse gets books to children in rural Lao villages. In primary schools we read from books, play games, sing songs, and have a drawing lesson. In high schools, we have a different set of activities. At the end, every student gets to choose a book, usually the first book they've ever owned. Then we give more to the school, for their library or classroom use.

This event was sponsored by Terre des Hommes (Germany). Thank you!

The white powder children are holding is normally used as a face powder; in this case, it's used as part of a game.
