How the HMONG MAKE MONEY and HOW MUCH | Now in Lao

[@NowinLao]

What an incredible bunch of viewers we have.. Thanks for the love guys. B/W still images from the next few videos are already available to see on my Patreon page. www.patreon.com/NowinLao They will always go up there first before the video is available, as do 'Patron Only' travel update videos when we are on the road so you know where we are in Laos without having to wait for the edited KZbin videos. Little less than 2 weeks now until we depart for Phongsali and the far Northern Hill Tribes. Thank you to all of you for following us this far and especially my patrons and supporters who make all of this possible. Because of you we can help as many as we do 🙏

[@djjaewon]

You guys are such genuine and generous people. Thank you for showing me my people and the places my parents were born in. I was born during war time and came to the USA when I was just 3 years old. I have not had an opportunity to go back to visit my parent’s homeland but seeing your videos reminds me of what they always told me, how beautiful their homelands are with majestic hills and mountains that they can not forget.

[@AsianAmericanGuy]

Same here this channel was the best experience I gotten but I wouldn't wanna visit southeast asia unless I had a good reason to since my plan is to visit southern china. My family got move to america in 1991 when I was 1 since my grandpa fought in the war.

[@rabbitnature]

Beautiful example of Showing Love to ALL Humans!! You are Blessed!!

[@chrisperkins7331]

Hi Todd Nice shout out to Nee Nee for her skill set, which makes these vlogs a possibility. I think the one lesson all your subscribers can take from watching your logs is that being happy beats all the toy's and money westerners seem to spend their lives chasing. They also have the most valuable thing there is , time to relax.

[@killeyx]

Thanks Todd and nene! Always loving your videos. Makes my day. There's a saying that if you respect and love and give to elderly people you will have a good life full of luck and good karma. God bless you two. Stay safe and your biggest fans from the USA. As a hmong gentleman I salute and tip my hats to you both. Have a safe journey. Can't wait for your next video.

[@NowinLao]

Thank you brother.. stay safe 🙏

It's awesome what you are doing to help these Hmong families. I was born in America and haven't made it back to see how our people are doing. Thank you for sharing. You have inspired me to really think about how many families are in need of the basic items to survive. I hope to travel there soon to connect and give to my own people. Thank you once again.

[@NowinLao]

Comments like yours make it all worth while.. if everybody helped a little the world would be a much better place. Thank you Gorgio 🙏

Every video you put out is a hit. I'm in North Carolina and plan on visiting Laos the end of 2023; hope to meet you and Nenee.

[@kangsa387]

I am a Hmong American born in Laos, Houa Phanh province. I left Laos in 1982 and to the states in 1987. Having lived in the states for longer than in my home country I have yet to let go my homesick. Though, it is hard.

[@manchagojohnsonmanchago6367]

laos is not your country meo, mong ect are from china. they are unwelcome illegal migrants in laos and not well liked, the same situation extends to vietnam and thailand. you should go to china if you want to see the meo "homeland" meo originate somewhere in central eastern china. chines history is full of nonsence and missing information buy i would say meo were once quite urban peoples and had one or several of their own nations in what is now china.. they are tropical people reverinue farming people like chinese and other people in asia.. but their culture shows a distinctly urbanized history . their villages where undisrupted in china are dense rammed earth and wood settlements with multilevel dwellings closely connected like an urabn setlement in a rural area..very unlike the thai/dai/lai ect grounds homes or villages further southward.

[@orman2222]

@@manchagojohnsonmanchago6367 Although most of your statements are true, it's wrong to label Hmong people as "meo." Meo is a term used by the Hans to label Hmong people as "worthless vermin." It's not how Hmong people called themselves. It's basically the same terminology as white people calling black people the "N" word. It's despicable and inhumane.

Such generosity. Hope you achieve success. Love the hmong videos..

A lot of the Hmong people moved into Wausau Wisconsin area in Marathon County and around I never knew any of them but I went to the Hmong store up in the city got a lot of the local people had stories to tell about the Hmong people and they're very strange ways from the foreign country years ago for example rent them a house and they would flood the basement and raise fish without letting the landlord no they were going to flood the whole basement of the house:-) thank you for sharing I have seen some very beautiful among ladies

[@Josephsimon3]

These people remind me of my Dusun race having identical ways of life gardener hunting fishing even the style of our classical style of mking house is similar as we are hardy people as they are must have coniction with our acentry long ago. Bravo Hm mong people all the best from Sabah Borneo. 👍👍👍

Just got back from a trip up to Luang Prabang by road via Vang Vieng and the road was pretty hairy, some pot holes were the size of small countries lol Our mini van nearly had to get towed up the big hill where the lookout is at the top. All said, a fabulous experience up and back but looking forward to the freeway to eventually open.

I dont think too many nationlist hire hmong to work for them unless it's hard labor. In vietnam the government made a hmong muslem and disapprove to hire hmong to work in it. Most hmong make they're money from selling embroidery, farm animals, vegetables, local fruits, fish, wildlife meat or stores they saved up to open.

Seems like there’s some efficiency to be gained in the rubber loading process. Do they go by hand simply due to expenses or has that been determined to be best way? Wheelbarrow for example seems like it could help if they could get one.
