Christmas day visits

I had not remembered it was Christmas day until someone wished me Merry Christmas that morning. It was a Merry Christmas day as we spent it visiting children in our education sponsorship programs, taking them oranges and mung bean cookies (and yes they taste as bad as they sound).


All the children we visited that day have a parent or parents who are rice farmers. On this day many were plowing or planting as it was considered by their calender to be a good day for preparing the soil and planting.
