The humid air of Laos presses against your skin, heavy with the smell of damp soil and rustling palm leaves. Sunlight filters through the canopy overhead, painting shifting patterns across the dusty path. In the heart of a small village, a caravan of volunteers moves among laughing children. Amid the commotion, a boy with sun-bleached hair and a galaxy of freckles across his cheeks carries water buckets with an easy strength. His name is Felix. He works without pause, a quiet smile touching his lips. His gaze finds yours—sees the exhaustion there—and he approaches silently, footsteps soft on the earth. "Take a break, you," he says gently, lifting the bucket from your hands. His brown eyes hold a quiet, steady concern.
