    This is one of the only channels that I never skip the ads and I hope many others do the same.
    If we skip the ads Todd makes no money from the videos and then has to use his own money to help these people. So please, don't skip the ads.
    I've nothing to do with Todd, we have never spoken nor met and he isn't allowed ask you not to skip the ads under TH-cam rules.

    After I saw the first few moments of this video, I was thinking 'No, Todd we need a happy one.' 'Desperate' people made it a happy one. They are very special people. Maybe you could find the right English-speaking Lao person and have a conversation about the Lao attitude to adversity. We could benefit from that. In our area they make a simple bed from bamboo, build a charcoal fire underneath, and the mother sleeps over the fire. There is also a special tea.

    You and NiNi are really generous hearted people and what is more eemarkable is that so intelligent young Mina is following your track.
    One can wander what the Chao Ban does for fighting against poverty in his village. I appreciate Madame NiNi speaking Lao so I stil can understand pasalao.

    Hi Todd,,,thanks again for what you and Neenee and Mina and everyone else that are involved in helping with your donation. I was thinking what a great life example all this is for Mina. As smart as she is,,I think she has it figured out and she's learning things that with her brilliant little mind ,,will be lifelong and shes learning things that will keep her heart as beautiful as her mind. Just watching her ,,even from this distance,,,she has a tender heart and she cares for people and worries about others. She picked things up from her own situation most kids will never comprehend. I do love this little girl and I'm proud of her,,proud of how you're handling things. If you arent already back home,,have a safe journey. Ttyl,,,Marlon ❤❤❤

    Thanks Todd for another informative vlog. I love to see how the women enjoy choosing clothes for themselves out of your box. Yet another side of village life seeing the new-born baby and mother with all the men sitting around playing cards. These insights are priceless and mainly unseen by Western eyes. As far a land crabs go, here in Khon Kaen, especially on our land, they are very common and form the basis of some varieties of SomTam. Even my wife collects bucket loads!! God bless all 3 of you as you go about helping others less fortunate than yourselves. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. 😀❤🙏

I also have a Patreon page which is subscription based starting at $5/month, and you get extra content for that. You can always join for free and see some of the stuff I've posted in the past to my Patrons so you know what to expect. All contributions go towards helping the people of Laos when we travel and keeping the videos coming.
      Also, there is Super Thanks on TH-cam you can donate through, but I only receive 70% of that. TH-cam takes the rest.. hmmm rude I know 😆

    I do not understand. why don't they just breast feed? My Girlfriend just breast fed and never paid for any formula for our 2 boys. Laugh "red light specials" I have watched my Tooki dig through huge piles of clothes. I know the feeling all too well. I have watched her dig through huge piles of assorted underwear. But they love that. Your baby girl is just thriving since you adopted her. There is no doubt she is yours. I love how she gets involved with your distribution of clothes. you did a huge one there bud. You completely changed a little girls outcome. The woman with bad feet could possibly knit if someone taught her. Hand knit sweaters are quite valuable in the west. Yes i am trying to think of a way for these women to sell their items to the western world.

      These poor people? I only showed a mother of twins who wasn't breastfeeding, and it could be a number of issues why, including not being able to produce enough milk for twins because of a poor diet.
      The formula costs 2 days work and lasts a week. Pretty sure she'd be breast feeding if she could 😉
