Burmese Language Lessons Continue

Today I learned two important Burmese phrases from the teachers at the Sky Blue school (at the dump site).

What is your name?
Na-meh be-loo koh-deh-leh

How old are you?
At-the bela shee tha-leh

I will ask these 2 questions when I pull out my 4x5 camera tomorrow to do some 90mm lens portraits. Hopefully with the combination of English, Thai and Burmese I can get the name and age of all the people I photograph.

I hope to do a series of 4x5 work of the children here then try to print up a calender that hopefully will help raise some funds to help the people (Fred Stockwells Charity, or Sky Blue School)
