Summary

Description
English: An elderly woman in a rural Lao village practices her reading skills. Written Lao is phonetic, and literacy rates are estimated at about 70%, but many adults read very slowly, if at all, because they've had little opportunity to see books. This woman was practicing at a rural village reading room set up by Big Brother Mouse, a literacy project in Laos.
