A Trip to Nam Ngum Lake

The church that Kris attends took a Saturday trip to Nam Ngum Lake which generates electricity.  It was created by flooding an area that included 24 villages.  The persons were farmers, but now needed to learn fishing as a livelihood. It was a 2 hour bus trip to the dam and went to an island for a picnic for another 2 hours.  What appears as islands are the tops of mountains after the area was flooded.
