I can smell all the books!

Let me first just say…

ONLY ONE DAY LEFT.

Make your donation now and JOIN HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE in fighting illiteracy in Laos.

So, we’ve gone 4 strong days of fund raising and you guys are awesome. The total is at $1212 and we have about 24 hours to go. My expectation is that there will be a bit of a surge at the end of people who were waiting to donate until the end.

We should probably acknowledge at this point that our bold goal of $5,000 will be tough to hit unless some significant donation come in at the end. However, with that said if we can get to $1,800 by tomorrow night we will be able to provide 1000 books for children, and that’s nothing to belittle. That picture above is about 300 books and the idea that we’ll be able to provide 3-4x that amount is AMAZING!

We’re very excited to see what people com up with in this last day! Again, any help that you can provide by donating and/or emailing http://libraryforlaos.org out to your friends and colleagues is very much appreciated! See you tomorrow night at the final bell.

Suzy-
Thanks os much for showing me this. It may be late to use for LibraryForLaos
but I'll definitely keep it in mind for future projects. I've had so much
fun working with LibraryForLaos.org over the past few weeks that I'll
definitely do it again. Working in the "help other people" space is very
gratifying. Best of luck in your fundraising and let me know how I can help!

Cheers,
Ryan
