Christmas water project in full swing
12-27-2011
After 37 hours in transit, passing 17 time zones and going through 4 international airports, I finally made it to Pakse and met up with Tyson on Monday afternoon. This is my first time to Laos and being here really makes me appreciate how Tyson started liveGLOCAL and what he’s managed to achieve in 3 years. Because we were able to raise more money than the cost of the clean water pump, we decided to use the extra money to build libraries at the four schools Tyson worked with in the past, where he provided school supplies and textbooks to the children and teachers. Many Lao children have never read a book outside of a textbook, so providing storybooks would be a fun way to improve their literacy and education.
He arrived a few days before me to go to Luang Prabang, where Big Brother Mouse is based. Big Brother Mouse is the only Lao-owned not-for-profit organization in Laos that publishes children’s storybooks in the Lao language. He purchased 500 books and transported it down here to Paksong, which we will distribute at the schools this week.

Fundraising with Givedot
12-02-2011
We are happy to partner with Givedot for our Christmas trip back to Laos to install a water pump and start four libraries. Founded by our good friend Bryan Papé at Miir, Givedot connects businesses, non-profits and donors. As a non-profit, we’ve selected a few businesses that have special offers that would appeal to our supporters. By purchasing through our campaign page, our foundation receives a percentage of the purchase.
