This boy had an RPB, or Rocket Propelled Banana. While most of the kids his age were in classes just a few minutes’ away, this boy apparently was being left behind.
They had pigs, chickens, bananas, and many types of foods. There was a fish pen by a creek, and the Salween River, though much of their food is donated and comes through Thailand. A coconut husk lay on the ground but there were no coconut trees; the medic said the coconuts come via Thailand.
In addition to math, history and other topics, the kids were learning Karen, Burmese, Thai, and English. I walked into an English class and taught for a couple minutes. The kids could read and were eager to speak English.
