A man of many names, Pong, Phongsavath, Peter Kim or just plain PK, is a 31 year old Lao man.  He lost his hands and his eyesight to a cluster bomblet left over from the Vietnam conflict when he was 16.  Never a quitter, he taught himself many things after his incident, including how to breakdance.  Today he is an advocate for people with disabilities in Lao PDR.

 

Lucas Clarkson is an Ohio-born expat currently living and working as an international educator in Lao, PDR. Prior to this, he spent a wondrous decade in Japan, learning entirely new ways of living and thinking. He values mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness, and hopes to continue giving back to a world that has given him so much.
