  • A young Akha Pouli boy from Ban Picherkao with a bird he has caught with a trap, Phongsaly province, Lao PDR. For families living away from the main roads and markets, food caught or collected from the wild, especially edible plants and small animals still make up fifty per cent of their diet.  Nature’s bounty in providing for the Lao may be plentiful, but this does not mean that the task of growing and finding enough food for family subsistence and maintenance is easy. It is a major preoccupation of rural families and takes the bulk of time and energy of every man, woman and child.

  • Laos is the most bombed country, per capita, in the world with more than 270 million cluster bomb submunitions dropped on it during the Vietnam War from 1963 to 1974. Pheng, 38 years old has worked as a technician for the Mines Advisory Group (MAG) in Xieng Khouang Province for a year. Her husband was killed by UXO whilst foraging for food in the forest a few years ago and she struggled to support her five children labouring in paddy fields and weaving at home with just enough income to keep the family alive. It's MAGs policy to select from the local population  the poorest members of the community to be trained and employed as technicians.
