I posted a little story on Gaia-Photos.com awhile back entitled, Laos: The Rocky Road To Education and I'll do that from time to time. It's about the daily challenges rural Laotian children face while they try to get an education. There is also a bit of text I wrote to accompany the photographs.

Gaia Photos is a new group of photographers brought together by Nepal based photojournalist Morten Svenningsen less than a year ago that focuses on social, humanitarian, environmental, cultural, health and education issues, as well as general news.

Currently there are nearly 100 stories in our archive from around the world.
