Larb Dip, I think the sentence is self explanatory.

Lao Democratic, When you retire, you will still have money, that's why you can work for free. It's definately different for the locals in Laos.

Yes hopefully I have some money later when I retire. I'm working hard now. I want to retire early 55-60 yrs old. If we retire in the US we might have to work till 70 yrs old later, and cost of living is higher here.

Old Man thank for the link. Does they have "One laptop per child" in Laos?

Not as such. i.e. not an office, etc. But anyone can buy laptops and donate them personally.

For packforapurpose.org. Do you pack all those supply yourself when you visit Laos or the organized can send them for you?

If you wanted to send them, you could post them to me at:

Old Man,
Rivertime Ecolodge
PO Box 5272,
Vientiane,
Laos

Or contact Barnaby at the ecolodge through their website for more info. and details.

Thank Old Man. Can you put other stuff like a movie in the box or just school supply? I'm thinking about sending it sometime next week. I'll send you a message on Lao Pride account when I send them.

Sure. But if you are thinking of sending English language DVDs, try to pick some that are child-based and, if possible, use simple language.

Any other kind of school supplies would be most welcome by the children and teachers in the three village schools around here.

It can run off a mains electricity supply too. The crank handle is used to generate clockwork energy to power up the batteries so it can be used in remote rural areas which have no electricity.

It is cool, isn't it?......

You're kind at heart and caring. You wouldn't find many ethnic Lao people in Laos who would be willing to teach anything for free.

Your valuable lessons will help them grow and develop their language skills, and we all know that English is a very important language in the world.

Thanks for your kind and generous words Administrator.

I wrote this series of 12 graded, illustrated, bi-lingual readers especially for Lao children and use to them to teach these children. I illustrated the first 5 books myself before hiring a professional Lao illustrator and layout specialist.

MrLao4ever to help Lao student. You can talk to Old Man and send him school supply. He also donated them to surround school in other village. I will send a box of school supply sometime this week. I found great deal at Wal-Mart for one pack of 76 pencil it cost only $4. I'll get at least 5 pack = 380 pencils and other school supply too.

*pencil
*pens
*notebook
*rulers
*crayons
*erasers
*soccer
*marker

If you wanted to send them, you could post them to Old Man at:

Old Man,
Rivertime Ecolodge
PO Box 5272,
Vientiane, Laos

How about another option? Perhaps you can create a Paypal account so we can send the donation to you directly? The money you receive you can purchase the item there. Wouldn't that be easier and cheaper? I have been using Paypal for years and they are very reliable, and convenient. I know there's Western Union and Money Gram but, they too are expensive.

Good idea Jackspade. I'll see if I can set one up.

Thanks. I had Books 10 and 11 in the series translated into the Lao language and a Japanese NGO paid to print thousands of copies of them which a Lao children's charity (Action with Lao Children) then sent to every secondary school in Laos.

I even got interviewed on TV about one of the books (about Evolution). I think 6 or seven people may have seen the TV program - seems like nearly everyone here prefers to watch Thai TV.

Here are the two books that were sent to the schools.

Why would you want to do such a thing? Old Man might want to pocket the ca$h himself. Grin

I'm kidding man. He seems like a real saint. A real buddhist. A good human. He has Laos' best interest at heart. Yoo do too. Grin
