On May 23rd, we initiated a fundraiser to raise $5,000 to help the final phase of the construction of a children’s school in Laos in a town called Ban Navangtai. Our goal was to collect $2,500 in donations and we would personally match the donations dollar for dollar up to $2,500.
As of today, the total amount (including our $2,500 personal donation) raised for this project is $4,161.
We are very grateful to everyone who contributed. Our thanks also go to those helped spread the word. We would also like to thank those who had wished they had been able to contribute but had not been able – we appreciate your consideration.
Project Enlightenment will continue efforts to raise the rest of the $5,000 needed to finish the last phase of the project. If you are interested in assisting, please visit their website at http://projectenlightenment.com and be sure to select Project Laos on the donation page.
