A bus from Chin State -Passengers are sitting on the top of the car. Seat-belt issue is not valid in Myanmar rural community. I am sure you can see it here. This road is closer to Kalemyo so it is in better condition than other parts of roads in Chin State.
Picture below: Some memorial stones at the roadside. Evidence of strong Christian communities in Chin state. Bible verses are inscribed on this memorial stone.

Picture below: Chin people collect wood in the jungle for fire wood and cooking. They make their own vehicle with local technology to carry wood. Patrol or engine oil is not needed for this kind vehicle. It uses only friction and gravity. You rolled it down the hill and pushed it back up when you delivered the goods.

There were teenagers who were repairing road. I stood up from my seat and standing through the sunroof. I talked to them in Tedim language which is not my mother language. I can see that they were stunning by my conversation to them. There are many travelers who passed through this road, everyday but not many will take some time to speak to the workers who are at the road side. Any way, these teenagers are my family too. We came from the same land. That is the reason i came back here.
------------------------------------------------
The living in Chin State is hard but they are steadfast and do not easily give up their faith.
-------------------------------------------
What make them still so faithful to Jesus even if the whole world forget about them. Surely their God will bring help to this land and her people. I want to be apart of this process.

My son took Fuji apple from the car and gave it to a little boy. My son love to wear Myanmar slipper called Sin Jee Phanat.

A little cross on the mountain, it's a miracle. No one remove this cross and this might be the only cross left.
