Vanh's sister preparing dinner in the kitchen. And below we're in the midst of a Bacci ceremony honoring Mama, a young girl who had survived a serious illness, a couple who had been away from the village for a long time, and me! the newcomer to the home. Vanh is next to me; Mama in the white sash. We blessed the altar which had the strings, and then tied them on one another's wrists with blessings (I don't know what blessings they bestowed on me, but there were a lot).
