Dear Friends, many of you are probably already waing to hear some news from my side. About one week ago I arrived safely in Germany. The last weeks in Laos were quite busy. The farewell was lovely but difficult at the same me. I miss already now all the dear friends, the colleagues and the people in the villages. The most beauful farewell giſt came from one of my lao friends who actually does not share our belief but who wished me „God‘s blessing“ when we saw each other for the last me. I am looking back on the 6 years in Laos with a deeply grateful heart. It was a me full of new experiences which helped me to understand this country beer and made me love its people. In a few weeks I will send you some more news. But unl then I wish you a blessed Christmas me and a Happy New Year! Esther
