The pics might have been taken from a moving vehicle, that's why they're blurred?
Think Ganda might be using these to figure out the location of the kids he/she is trying to help.

Yup brod, you got it right! taken while were on the road on the way to kid's village. By the way, do you know which district is Ban Namouang( Namouang village) and Ban Bahong( Bahong Village)?

Thanks once again!

 Not in Thakek. It has to be in Xiengkhoung,im sure of that. but which district and village imnot sure. these are my only choices:

Village Name	District
NaOung	Kham
Namkieng	Pek
Khaikieng	Kham
ThamHoum	Nonghet
Nalam	Khoun
PhoneHom	Thathom

Can you please re-read the signs it anyone matches orneighboring  to any of the listed villages in Kham, Pek, Nonghet or Khoun district? I know now that the kid with wounds at the bottom is from Phonthom village in Thathom. But the location of lame kid Im stillfiguring out. Hope you can help me on this.

Thanks a lot! Good luck!

The spelling could be wrong, please bear with me as I dont have ability to read Lao.  Ive written them as I heard the words.

The second photo: it could be Ban Na Thong. It's blur, so it's hard to tell whether it is 'B' or 'N' (before the 'A'), & whether it's 'H' or 'TH' (before the 'ONG'). These pairs of Lao alphabets look a bit similar.

Ban Namuang is a very common name, there are at least 3 of them in Xieng Khouang province, but all are not on the main highways (HWY 6 & HWY 7). Were you travelling on a smaller road?

Look at this combination of map locations in Kham district:
http://www.maplandia.com/laos/xiangkhouang/kham/ban-na-oung/
http://www.maplandia.com/laos/xiangkhouang/kham/ban-namuang/
http://www.maplandia.com/laos/xiangkhouang/kham/ban-nathong/

You can compare their relative locations to 'Ban Ban' which appears in all 3 maps. Does it seem familiar?

I haven't checked the other villages/districts in your list to see whether they also contain a combination of Ban Namuang & Ban Nathong located near each other....

can't find Ban Khaikieng in Kham district but there is a Ban Khai, & it's in the same area as those 3 links:

Hi. Thanks to all who tried to help. Ive attached more photos taken on the way to the village from the location of the Provincial Health Office. If I remember right we traveled from there to the village in 1.5 - 2 hours. The roads rough as we go deeper into the district. The first sign is still far from the village. But the 2nd sign (the one with a truck on the background) is exactly where the lame boy lives.  Ban Namouang (if that's what written on the sign) seems familiar.I think its the right one, unless someone here is familiar with the place on the photos.  I've taken that shot (photo with sign and truck) while waiting for my colleague to finish asking the neighbors where we can find the baby girl who was paralyzed and was the original purpose of our visit. The discovery of the lame boy is only incidental.

Ive checked the map but it made me more disoriented. Ha ha sorry.

Ganda, open your account with Flickr Photo, then post the link here. We'll see a lot of good shot and better displays in Flickr photo website.

Thank you for sharing.
