Bago Floods (III)

These satellite pictures of 1990, 2000 and 2005 shows land use changes and degradation of forest cover clearly. What need to do? A sustainable development program, and good governance? How to implement, not by words, but by deeds.

My Best Models

This is taken in 2007 March, at Phimaw, Kachin-China border. This old lady is really happy. She is about to get a contribution of a bag full of rice. I wish I can smile like that.
