Last Chance to make a donation to this years events!

Sabaidee!

Only 2.5weeks until we fly, so excited!!!

We have secured the uniforms as well as arranged the books for the party with extra's to give out throughout southern Laos.

The village school we are visiting this year in "Ban Oh" is located about 1km from the village and they have not been able to run plumbing (Water) and Electricity to the school building from the village as yet.

Any extra money we raise for this trip will go towards purchasing cabling and works to help complete this connection meaning the children can have water to drink at the school as well as being able to use a toilet and have lighting/audio etc in the school building. Something we take for granted for our children in the western world.

You can help to make this possible by simply sharing this cause or making a donation at the link below. Donations close Oct 26th 2015. (Book Party currently planned to be held on the 10 - 12th November).

Ban Oh... Here we come!

Hello all,

We are so excited to share with you all the village and school we will be visiting in November this year to host a book party for the 73 students there.

Our very good friends Mr Vongsamay Malibayphit and his beautiful wife Goud, owners of the amazing Sainamhai Resort who are vital in helping to organise this for us each year have visited the village to announce our intentions to bring some education supplies and uniforms to the village school.

If you would like to donate and be a part of this great cause, feel free to click here

A little goes a long way, a little from many goes even further!

The school is in the village Ban Oh, whilst they have a school building where the children can learn, it is some distance between the village and the school and they have not been able to get electricity and water to the school building itself. Any money left over from our fundraising efforts this year after the purchase of the books and uniforms for this trip will be used to fund getting electricity and water to the school building so the children can use a toilet and have drinking water whilst at school, something we take for granted in our developed societies.

Stay tuned to join us on our adventure beginning Oct 24th 2015!

Fundraising Update

Howdy all,

So far for our upcoming trip we have raised $260 USD via our indiegogo campaign . We have also raised $55 by Auctioning off a donated second hand golf set. I will be repainting part of our work office and in turn they will be paying me $500 AUD for the job, meaning less paint costs this will be another $400 or so towards our fundraising efforts.

So with the above and other friends and family donations of cash, we have so far raised approx $780 AUD towards the cause.

We have about 4 months left before he head over and will be holding many events between now and then to raise further funds.

Roughly what we want to purchase for each book party:

• Approx 250 books for a school. (2 Basic Books per child and a collection of advanced learning books for the teachers and volunteers
• Uniforms (shirts) for the children as well as some stationary etc
• Electronic learning devices (potentially Tablet PCs or low cost computer and projector systems)

We would like to raise enough to host a book party for at least 2 schools in our time there this year as well as have books to take with us on our journey to give out to children and families.

We look forward to sharing this adventure with you all via this blog. Be sure to follow the blog so you don't miss out on any of the action and great times!
