Congrats and Thank You: LibraryforLaos.org hits $1500
Fantastic week of fundraising! Thank you for donating and helping us spread the word about the LibraryForLaos.org campaign!
Unfortunately we did not hit our lofty goal of $5,000, but we were still able to raise a substantial $1,500 that will fund reading programs and book purchases in the rural villages of Laos! With a village reading program costing $250, our campaign will bring the joy of reading to approximately 500 rural impoverished children!
Although the OFFICIAL fundraiser is over, we will keep the donations button on the website up and running over the next week to accommodate any stragglers. If you have any family or friends who did not have a change to contribute, ITS NOT TOO LATE TO DONATE! - http://libraryforlaos.org
Stay tuned to our Updates page for coverage of the FIRST reading program (”book party”) funded by LFL.org campaign donations – COMING SOON!!
Again, Allen Burt and I sincerely want to thank all of you for contributing to this fantastic cause. Together we are helping to shape the future of literacy in Laos!
