red dao village

the red dao children

the 4 brothers...look how run-down their house is compared to the previous tribes we visited

the red dao village is rather small and consists only just around 10 families due to their young history...they are probably the poorest among the minority tribes too...when we reached the village, the parents were all out working in the rice fields, leaving only the kids behind to look after the houses...their houses are built directly on top of the dirt without any proper floor...they dun have televison like the previous tribes that we visited...the youngest brother didn't even have a proper pant to wear...=(
