First Venture into Rebel Territory- Balud

My first visit to the "Rebel areas" took place in a Dump truck-



The terrible state of roads



The country we trekked through



Trekking to the village- they are remote and hard to get to, can only get there by motor bike or by walking




The view of the hills and farms



The village of Balud in the distance



The school that was built through the programme set up by Romy's team in conjuction with JTS (Joint Together Society) A Korean Buddhist organisation



The Commander of the village - not what you would expect but a very tall man (at least 3 wives and A LOT of children)



Village meeting on where to go from here- the importance of education and the progress that has been made, also discussed tree planting projects.
