I was 16 years old when I reservedly documented the physical therapy work we as group of international school students engaged in with HIV/AIDs patients in a Catholic-run, Kloeng Toey slum, Bangkok hospice. Not only do I not know of the welfare of the patients in these pictures, but I lost sight of my dear friends who were on that trip (Sophie and Adam, here pictured) years ago. Thus I call this reportage one of my own memory, rather than of the people, scenes, events herein.

Melinda MingXiu Lee (MMXL, 2040) will be 58 years old in 2040. Will she be happy? Loved? Successful? Impactful? Which no one but she recognizes as an actual word? Where will you be?
