A 14 year old child worker at the market - here every day selling the family's produce

Back on the donkey and time to go home

A meal at the Yurt and the NZ contingent, resplendant in Kyrg finery are tired but exhilirated at what they've seen and heard

these fellas are the taxis that brough a few of the folks along

After the visit, all concerned gather for a photo

The talent runs deep

.. and the girls give rthymic response to match

Concert time - these young fellas give a Kyrg dramatic performance that stirs the heart

Time with the children alone - very animated, very certain of their dreams and aspirations
