Lao NEWs on LNTV: Australia-Laos provide clean water to households & schools across Laos.21/11/2014
VO Australia-Laos provide clean water to More than 1,000 households and a host of schools across the country
INTRO: More than 1,000 households and a host of schools in rural communities across the country are benefitting from clean water thanks to a simple but effective filter designed in Australia and made in Laos. According to the Australia's Ambassador to the Lao PDR, John Williams, the ability to build the water filters from inexpensive, locally-sourced materials means the technology has extensive reach into remote, rural communities, making it highly suitable for a country like Laos
STORY: The technology received a stamp of approval from Australia's Ambassador to the Lao PDR, John Williams, on an official visit to the Abundant Water Workshop in Houayhong village, Chanthabouly district.
It is said that, the clean water initiative, led by the Australian not-for-profit group Abundant Water, seeks to empower communities to better manage their water and sanitation needs. Abundant Water's innovative clay pot filters are able to remove waterborne diseases like dysentery, gastro-enteritis, cholera and typhoid from water. The filters are designed so as to use both available materials and the skills of local community members in the construction and improvement process.

Ambassor Williams said the innovation had the potential to reach many more communities as prospective partners recognised the value of investing in clean water.

In partnership with quality aid organisations like ChildFund, Helvetas, PADETC and CDEA, Abundant Water is helping to break the cycle of disease, illness and poverty caused by water-borne diseases
Interview: The Australian engineer and Abundant Water

According to the engineer, his approach transfers knowledge and expertise, and develops local capability and ownership, increasing the likelihood of ongoing use of the technology. He said adding that, Abundant Water is training village potters in our water filter technology and micro-financed business approaches.
ChildFund and Abundant Water are making the most of the learning opportunities presented by this collaboration to try to develop a model that can be scaled up to support other poor communities in Laos. The Australian engineer and Abundant Water team is now developing a model for the propagation of low-cost programmes enabling anyone in need, anywhere in the world, to access clay pottery water filter technology, so they too can benefit from safe drinking water.
It is disclosed that, Abundant Water receives much of its funding from Rotary Australia and welcomes private donations from Australia and abroad.

Terracotta artist keeping Vat Phou heritage alive
Down a small road in the old section of Champassak town, Mr Soulivan Phounthareuansy, 57, sits in a small workshop underneath his house concentrating on the carving of a terracotta Naga.
Mr Soulivan is the owner of Champassak Pottery, the first Khmer era pottery and carving workshop in the province, located in Meuang Sen village, Champassak district and province which also happens to be where the Vat Phou UNESCO World Heritage site calls home.
Mr Soulivan says he has always been fascinated by the art of pottery and was inspired to make terracotta when he was a young boy based on the familiar architecture of Vat Phou, a place that was once his childhood playground.
Mr Soulivan graduated from teacher training college in his hometown before working for the Champassak Education Department for five years and spending another half a decade with the provincial Information, Culture and Tourism Department.
He then became a member of the restoration team at the Vat Phou UNESCO World Heritage site from 2000-2005 before finally setting up his modest workshop three years ago.
His artwork depicts the figures of gods and other mythological creatures that figure prominently in Vat Phou architecture, most of which is meticulously carved by himself while other pieces are created by his two young assistants who help him during their spare time from their grade school studies.
“At the heart of my work is the attention to detail given to the figure or piece at hand; one small mistake can make a big difference so that’s why I still spend a lot of my time learning and doing research when making new figures so I can keep my work in line with the original as best as possible,” Mr Soulivan said.
Currently he’s creating anywhere from 10 to 20 pieces a month but most of the time his numbers depend on how big or difficult the piece is to carve and some of his work can take months to finish.
Mr Soulivan says he gets his clay from the foothills not far from the Vat Phou temple grounds and other times buys it from a brick factory in the province.
The price of his artwork can range anywhere from 30,000 kip to 2,500,000 kip. About 80 percent of his customers are foreigners with most of them being tourists.
Visitors often buy his small pieces such as the figures of Uma, Shiva and Apsara because they are easy to carry and take back home while the bigger pieces are usually sold to hotels.
Mr Soulivan said he has had the full support of the government, especially Champassak’s Tourism Department, as his workshop is the only one of its kind in the province and is located within arm’s reach of the UNESCO World Heritage site.
In the near future Mr Soulivan plans to upgrade his workshop by improving or maybe even rebuilding his pottery kiln to make it larger and to ensure the final pieces created are of higher quality.
In the meantime, it’s possible that Mr Soulivan will run a beginners’ course for young people or tourists to learn the art of carving terracotta, especially pieces in the Vat Phou style in a small gesture to keep the carving heritage alive.
Anyone interested in saying hello to Mr Soulivan when visiting Champassak old town can contact him by phone: 020 52542393 or by email: champasak-pottery@gmail.com.

LAOS: AMAZING 2,000 BUDDHA STATUES, BUDDHIST temple in VIENTIANE ????
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's visit Wat Si Saket which is a Buddhist wat (temple) in Vientiane, Laos. Wat Si Saket features a cloister wall with more than 2,000 ceramic and silver Buddha images. Wat Si Saket was built in 1818 on the order of King Anouvong and it was built in the Siamese style of Buddhist architecture, with a surrounding terrace and an ornate five-tiered roof, rather than in the Lao style.The temple also houses a museum.
Laos is a Southeast Asian country traversed by the Mekong River and known for mountainous terrain, French colonial architecture, hill tribe settlements and Buddhist monasteries. Vientiane, the capital, is the site of the That Luang monument, where a reliquary reportedly houses the Buddha’s breastbone, plus the Patuxai war memorial and Talat Sao (Morning Market), a complex jammed with food, clothes and craft stalls.

Lan Xang
The Lao kingdom of Lan Xang Hom Khao existed as a unified kingdom from 1354-1707.
For three and a half centuries, Lan Xang was one of the largest kingdoms in Southeast Asia. The million elephants under the white parasol of the kingdom's name alludes to the power of the kingship and formidable war machine of the early kingdom. The kingdom is the precursor for the country of Laos and the basis for the national historic and cultural identity.
