Girls in Ban Kok Fark Village, Laos

I was on a small group trip on the Mekong River in Laos. On this day we stopped an Ban Kok Fark Village. After the village welcome, I started wandering through the village. Many young children were taking care of their even younger siblings or family members. I asked if I could take a photo, and this young girl nodded yes. She has a wonderful smile.
