Food not eaten will spoil. Old things not repeated will be forgotten."

Lao Diaspora Feature: Stacey Phengvath

What is your journey?

"We met with the World Food Program (WFP) and Akha and Phunoy villagers, and observed how much of an impact the U.S. funded WFP school lunch program had on the children’s school attendance. I can personally relate to the Akha children as a recipient of a similar school lunch program in America. Seeing these programs making an impact in the field underscores why I love my job and why I am proud to represent the United States abroad." -Stacey Phengvath, Diplomat at US Embassy Vientiane (Originally from Connecticut)
