Larissa Fardelos' photos in Taiwan and Thailand on CRC


Julie Virgin plays with some young girls during a visit to a rural school in Northern Thailand.


The students return to their rooms next to the lotus pond after a morning of teaching English to novice monks in a nearby high school during the meditation retreat. Service learning was incorporated into the meditation retreat, along with lectures on Theravada Buddhism and lessons in mud hut building, rice harvesting, monk etiquette and such.
