Akha Chronicles on line, 52 Chapters

Wed Jan 04, 2006 at 02:15:51 AM PDT

We have been working with the Akha mountain people of SE Asia for 15 years.

Now we have a book on line.

Has taken a long time, but I think there is some real interesting reading about the Akha that you can find at
http://www.akha.org/...

The Akha Chronicles. 52 Chapters set up. There are a few granted that are not written out in full, but other chapters run 100 plus pages long.

15 years of events and experiences in the life of the Akha villages.

I have a lot more left to do on it, editing, little snippets that need to be written out, stories that need to be added, more journals and log books that need to be typed in, but it is a work in motion, and it probably will always be seeing more added.

    A tremendous effort. Don't think it is unappreciated because of a dearth of comments. I for one will be reading and talking about this and passing it along. Thank for all of your efforts.

    What's so hard about Peace, Love, and Truth and Progress?

    I apologize that it isn't done yet, hard drives scattered half way a world apart, I figured I'd better get the bulk on line to protect it.

    There are a ton of stories. Finally formatting it up at least crudely like this lets people take a look into what was never a picnic. A lot more grit to ad, pain, joy, good memories and sad, going on along, fun to share and I hope that inspires a little hope.

    Hope to get all the chapters filled out now that I got the bulk of it up on line, the part that is done. I can relax a little bit and keep at it.

    Any publishers out there?
