I've been a lurker for awhile but was going to post as soon as we got word. Well, a large manila envelope came in the mail today that said my husband was awarded a full grant to Laos. Woohoo! We actually lived in Thailand before (we had only one child at the time, now we have two) so this will be an adventure. We are both fluent in Thai (which is similar to Lao) and are excited for this experience. Good luck to everyone!
