As promised the weather has turned for the better here in Sa Pa. The CBT Viet Nam team has now officially arrived in Sa Pa after a 10 hour night train from Ha Noi. Almost instantly the weather improved and the viel that has enclosed the valley for days was pulled away with little resistance.
The team had a day to visit the local villages from past projects and from current projects (Ta Van, Lao Chai, Ta Phin) to check up and see some old friends. Young Hmong girls crowd the tourists anxiously attempting to sell something after a week of bad weather and slow tourism. It is clear to see improvement in the homestays and in visitor management however there is still room for improvement. There are many trekkers in the villages now enjoying the taste of clear mountain air (Sa Pa rests at 1600 metres above sea level).
Today for the first time the CBT Viet Nam team is complete with its HOU counterparts and after having met with the local goverment department of Sport, Culture and Information Technology we are pleased to find that we will be joined by an additional three trainers provided from the government. This excellent news will help alleviate the pressure from a very ambitious schedule.
For the next six days the team will be staying in homestays in Ta Phin and Lao Chia delivering modules that we have been working on for nearly four months prior. The team is excited to have the blessings of the local government and is ready to get down to work.
Stay tuned for more details......
