Chas, it would be GREAT for us to share in the education of Monk Noy. You could assist with incidental/supplies expenses every few months and I will continue to take care of tuition.
That way, I'd appreciate the chance to work together on a worthwhile project and we would assure that he can take care of the on-going expenses over the cost of tuition. And, I'd expect that the splitting of those two expenses would come out close to even over a year's time.
Just let me know what you want to do when you return. Taike and Nok could locate another candidate, if that's what you want to do.
It really cool, but no surprise that you would do this. And in addition to our "joined at the hip" interest and involvement in music, that's why you're at the top of my list as a friend.
Thanks so much!

Is all fine with me, Russ. Any contribution, no matter how insignificant to us, is of major significance to a monk.
Monk Noy travels back and forth between temple and school and from one school to another. If I'm not mistaken he attends three schools. No idea how he does it but he spends about every minute of his day attending classes. While public transportation is dirt cheap in Laos, any expense is a major one to a monk. In Monk Noy's case, all his commuting back and forth does add up. Since monks don't have an income any amount is a fortune to them.
Nok can seek out a candidate if you wish to fund a monk's education. No matter what you decide, it'll mean a lot to the recipient.
Russ, I hope to have some pics of Monk Noy for you. Hopefully it won't take long for he's really hard to get in touch with since he's always at school.
It doesn't come as a surprise to me that you're willing to make your personal contribution, Chas. Being best of friends with Russ says a lot about you...and vice versa. Needless to say that you're right there with Russ at the top of my list.
