    I think it's truly amazing the things you do for these people. And there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with handing out cookies to the kids for a treat. How often do they get them. People need to lighten up and let you do your thing and save the criticisms for those who deserve it. Keep up the great work and God bless you all for what you do.

    The smile, excitement and joy on their faces are priceless. Most of them, the parents probably can’t afford such luxury. I did the same when I visited Lao last year, and I’m planning to do the same next month when I go back to visit. I don’t care what the haters are saying. I feel good giving, and the receiving end loves it. Keep up God’s work! ❤️💕😍

    Todd, you naughty, naughty man, handing out those cookies to children and ruining the future health of a whole generation! Perhaps you should be handing out health warnings instead. Sorry guys, we can't give you a momentary respite from the monotonous diet you have and bring a little smile to your face with a once in a blue moon treat as a cookie is dangerous to your health! Mina summed it up beautifully, bless her! Looking at life through the eyes of a child is not too difficult and which one of us as children did not enjoy a treat once in a while. Being born not long after the 2nd World War, I was 5 years old before rationing was taken off sweets so for me any little treat like a sweet or a cookie was the highlight of my life and I remember it to this day! Any way take no notice of the nay sayers Todd and do what you do best. You are an amazing family who bring happiness to those people who have nothing, with clothes survival packs and medicine. (can't mention cookies) These acts of kindness will be remembered well into the future and people will sit around fires talking about the kind farang and his wife and daughter, who came to the village! It's the sort of thing that songs are written about. Great vlog as always Todd, all those streams and rivers are amazing. God bless all three of you cookie monsters! 😀❤🙏

    To all the keyboard warriors, pick your own nose and eat it. These kids don’t get these cookies or any other junk food, that we are accustom to. Hence why obesity, drug addiction along with mental illness commonly known as an excuse for an escape of responsibility is becoming the number one problem in the western world. The issue I am observing personally is the addiction for kids on devices and the internet. You can’t even tell your child off for not doing a simple chore without the cry and carryon that it’s the fault of the parent, not the child. A parent shouldn’t have to be on tender grounds waiting for the child to threaten you to get the school psychologist involved in simple discipline around the family home.
    Long story short, ‘Give those beautiful kids a fucking Cookie and whatever you can possibly give them, they deserve it way more than ours spoilt children in the western world deserve’….. Rant out, you’re doing a great job Todd and Neenee, Mina picking English was always going to happen and she is excelling in it. Sarah came to Australia only speaking Laos and now she only speaks English, but knows every word out of mums Laos tongue., it makes arguments interesting.
