Trapped in a Box by Ryszard Wierzbicki

This time took a local guide, a veteran of a secret war of Laos, from the small town Muang Ngoi in the mountain area in the Northern and asked him to take me to next village up the Nam Ou river. I purchased some school materials and sweet. Being armed with my camera and few gift for Kids I entered into the village … and one of the first thing I spotted were Kids sitting in the boxes in the middle of a central road going through the village. It was a great moment to shoot a Photo.
