12 MARCH 2009 -- VIENTIANE, LAOS: Women wait to give rice to Buddhist Monks in Vientiane, Laos, who go about their "Tak Bat," Lao for "monks morning rounds." The monks collect alms in the form of food from people who line their route. For the monks, it is the only food they get that day, for the people it's a chance to "make merit." Photo By Jack Kurtz
