 Coffee break
 We take group photos based on their district/communes before the start of the public forum and print 150 for each of the participants as a way to say thank you to them, and also with the international understanding that photos are rare for villagers and they make nice souvenirs.
 Whereas participants are grouped by locale, monks are grouped together for souvenir photos.
Listen to the entire Kratie public forum on the Voice of Justice Radio Program, high-resolution recording, approx. 6 hrs.
