Water ...Water !

There were attempts to solve the lacking of water at Huai Wad during the last few months. A few friends from far had kindly contributed to the Lahu of Huai Wad very actively. They shared relevant documents, ideas and experiences. Some even visited and spent time at the village too. To say thank you to them is not enough, I think.

To have sustainable solutions at Huai Wad need more actors. We have encouraged the villagers, especially the leaders to work harder but the local officers should also play more active roles.

Water is very essential for our living and also for the Lahu of Huai Wad. We may be lucky to have enough water to drink and consume. Unfortunately, it does not happen at Huai Wad.

Then I am very sad whenever I hear the Lahu friends sigh "Water..Water !"
