COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS
Miss Outsawan, one of three Indigo Threads Pakse Teacher's Training College scholarship recipients, presented Indigo Threads Director with a beautiful handwoven Talieng ethnic textile from her village in the Sekong District. Miss Outsawan is completing the first year of a three year program to become a secondary school teacher. She, as well, as the other two recipients were selected from the Ethnic High School in Pakse City. This summer she will be returning home to her village, a full day's bus ride, to help her family with the rice harvest. Miss Outsawan is a good student and takes her studys seriously. Her scholarship will again be awarded for the 2007-2008 school year.
