26 Jan 2011 - Our family donated 500,000 Kip for buying warm clothes and blankets for children living in the Province of Houaphanh (Via Phaivanh and her CONCERN crew in the field), and dad and mom also asked our colleagues to donate as well (Dad collected about 1.1 million kip from friends at work for the project, and mom collected some as well). See messages below for detail of this small compassion initiative:

You probably recognize the weather currently gets very cold. In Houaphanh province, the temperature is between 0-12 Celsius; the most needed at the moment is warm clothes. I am wondering if anyone know any agencies who provide this type of assistance. One of our project is still working in one of the district in this province and we can help with distribute stuff at the field.

Please see Phaivanh’s message... Because of the current harsh weather condition in the northern part of Laos, there’s an urgent need to provide warm clothes/blankets to children and families in the province, living in a poorest and most remote part of the country. I’d like to ask you all to join me in helping them by making some collective contributions, so that some families will be able to keep their children warm at night. The money goes directly to buying of the warm clothes/blankets (organized by the Concern project team in the field). Due to some difficulty in shipping donated stuff like old clothes directly to the field, only money donations will be accepted at this stage. I will be collecting the donations on behalf of Concern org until Monday next week (24/01/11). If you would like to donate money, please pass it on to me. Please feel free to convey this message to your friends who might be interested in helping out.

My sincere gratitude to all who support this and the donations that still keep coming in. We have collected over 1.5m KIP in total so far from 19 donors. This will surely make a difference in people’s lives, particularly in helping some of those needy families in the north going through the tough period of the cold weather.
Some have asked me about whether all the donated money will eventually be spent for buying warm clothes and whether the stuff will reach the truly needy children. To be honest, I can’t guarantee that 100% of the donations will be properly distributed, though I strongly hope they will (most if not all) – we just have to take a leave of faith, but doing nothing is not helping the situation.
I have transferred the donated money I received so far and we are in contact with Phaivanh to try to get the stuff to the province urgently. I am still collecting if any of you still would like to contribute small or large, and the money will be sent later. We will do all that we can to ensure every KIP, dime, and Stang donated goes to the right hands.
