Russ, it's not that I'm "dedicating" my life to doing good deeds but rather that helping out whenever and wherever I can. Providing free education to monks just happens to be one of these deeds. These young men play a very important role in Lao society and it's a privilege helping them out. There are many ways one can help another. There's no price tag attached to helping out. Both you and Chas are fully aware of that. Too bad the majority thinks otherwise.
