The year was 1994
Somewhere in Bokeo, a tiny province in Laos, a seven-year old boy and his family were about to start building their new lives after being stateless for years, displaced by the civil conflict that ravaged the country for decades.
Continuing from “Stateless: Dairy of a Spirited Boy at Napho Camp”, “Transition” chronicles Sanva’s new life in Laos after leaving Napho Camp in Thailand.
Sanva’s vivid recollection of his childhood adventures in Bokeo offers the readers a glimpse into the realities of life for a boy growing up in Laos at a time when the country was just opening up to the rest of the world. Amidst the many struggles and growing pains, his family members never failed to provide him with much needed wisdom and grounding.
When the opportunity came for Sanva to continue his education in Vientiane, the capital of Laos, he found himself faced with one of his most difficult decisions yet: to obey his father and stay on in Bokeo or defy him and leave Bokeo for an education in Vientiane, and perhaps to forge for himself a life in places yet unknown.
