Do I have to be a rocket scientist to do this?

Once upon a time this morning, a group of Khoun Radio volunteers was testing a mobile radio recently bought to be used for community mobilization.

Being ignored during assembling 'antenna system', Lavanh (on the right) asks: 'Can I try?'. No response from Neng Yang (on the left). She looks upset a bit.

Neng Yang (to Lavanh): 'It's not a woman's job. You should stay in the shade; it's too hot in here.'
Lavanh (insists): 'But I really want to try.'

Neng Yang: 'OK. But please be careful.'
Lavanh: 'Like this?'
Lavanh: 'This is easy and fun!'




Lavanh: 'Done! You boys should have let me help out earlier; you wouldn't have had to stay in the sun this long.'


Erection of an antenna is done. Now, the group moves on to set up 'the broadcasting console'. It consists of a mixer, an MP3 player, a pair of microphones, a CD player, computer...

Neng Yang now lets Lavanh help with the setup without her having to ask him.



(BTW, this mobile radio works!)
