Keep 'em coming!
Last week a donation page was set up on Just Giving – a website
dedicated to collecting money for fundraisers – for the Laos Charitable Trust
Challenge.

If you don’t know about it, we’re giving alms for 5 days
(teaching days) along with the locals in order to inspire YOU, and others who
support our work in Luang Prabang, to reach into their pockets – or credit card
limits! – and DONATE!
So far there has been an admirable response, mostly from
past GVI volunteers, along with friends of Field Staff and the Regional Director
of GVI. We’ve managed to raise 305GBP
(or about $500USD) across just 9 donations, representing 6% of our whopping
5000GBP target! A great effort to get us
kick-started but....well, it’s a long way to August 20th! A HUGE thank you to those who've so kindly donated already. You're stars.
If you’re keen to support incountry volunteers and staff in
this challenge to invest in the community of Luang Prabang and surrounds, head

You can also do us the favour of spreading the word – share this
link or the original blog post – or tell your family, friends and
colleagues. We need as much help as we
can get :)
