Indigo Threads New Office House-2009

October 30, 2009

You have been looking for Indigo Threads office in Pakse City, Laos and you couldn’t find us?  We have moved again on September 15, 2009, hopefully, not a yearly event.  Our new villa office house is located at Ban Suansavan Village, still at Km. 3, on a quite dust free Soi.  Call before you come, as it is difficult to find---856-20-535-9915 Lao mobile.  As Ms. Mary works and travels between Laos and the US, you may not find her there at all times.

As you can see it is a lovely Laotian style villa with massive landscaped grounds and an extensive veranda.  Most of our meetings are now held on this comfortable veranda overlooking the variety of lush tropical plants.  There is more working, living space with all 8-rooms, on the beautifully tiled one level structure.  The rear original traditional kitchen remains semi open, as Laotians continue to cook inside (or outside) over charcoal on a clay type charcoal burner.  A huge covered carport (large enough for a semi truck) will more then allow enough space to prepare Indigo Threads School Lunch Program.

Our upcoming Volunteer Program participants will have the opportunity to experience modern life in contrast to the traditional Laotian ways.  When we acquire more furnishings we will virtually invite you inside.  You are welcome to stop by when you can.  We have lots of weeds to pull, too.

Footnote:  Rental properties like Villa Indigo rent for approximately $200 per month.

Greetings from Mary D. Meyer/Executive Director mdmeyer@indigothreads.org
