I'm with you. I plan to continue donation to Lao student couple time a year. This is my first time directly donating to school in Laos and it feel great. Me and my brother will donate couple hundred of dollars more in a month. "One person can't safe the world, but we can make a different."

With Mr Lao4ever's kind donation, we bought the educational toys and sports equipment. Here they are laid out on Old Man's floor.

We then delivered the materials to the children in Ban Dong Bang Kindergarten and Primary school.

All the children and their teachers asked us to pass on their thanks to Mr Lao4ever and the Lao Pride Forum.

The next school we will help will be Ban Na Sala Primary School, also in Saythany district.

I too would like to make a donation, but will probably wait until we return from Laos, or maybe to a contact I have in Laos directly while I am there.

Thank you William. Any donation will help. It what from the heart that count. Another good idea is pack your luggage as much as you can with school supply and maybe you can give them to Old Man to pass them out when you're in Laos.

My thanks also, William. There's no need to go to the trouble of bringing materials with you and adding weight to your luggage. You can buy school materials or whatever you would like to donate more cheaply in the market in Vientiane and deliver the materials to the school yourself or leave them with me when we meet for your wedding in Vientiane next month.

I agree. He is blessing. I have always wanted to help, but never quite knew how. I always worried if I made a donation to help the people in Laos, only a small portion would get to those who really need it. That problem is solved. Many thanks. We will see you and your wife soon, Old Man, take care!

Agreed. You has to find the right person, a person you can trust who has the same passion, and serious about charity work.

I just meet Old Man in LP, and testing the water. This my first time directly donating to Laos student, and it turn out great. I plan to continuing donating. I been thinking about helping student in Laos for a while now, and there's many charity out there. I planing to do charity work when I retire in Laos.

Old Man Ex Member	Re: Lao Pride Member Makes Donation to Lao Children Reply #42 - 29^th Apr, 2011 at 1:42pm Laos has an abundance of water resources. The reason that school playground is not covered in grass and other greenery is...............because it's a playground. Grass has a hard time growing when kids are running and playing on the surface every day. Old Man

What type of grass is growing around the school? I would assume that those kids prefer to play on softer grassy surface - earsier on their feet and body.

There is a grass called 'St. Augustine' that thrives very well in hot humid conditions like in Texas during the summer and I think this grass can thrive as well in Laos. St. Augustine grows quick and horizontally on sandy surfaces, so they spread like wildfire once it starts. Water once a week and they are fine. Pretty much all of outdoor soccer/football fields in the Houston, Texas area grow this grass because they are tough to wear down when stepping on it. St. Augustine is very good in stabilizing surface sand and soil in place from man-made and/or wind erosion.

Good stuff. I think this grass will work because Laos and Texas has similar weather. Just need to find distributor in Laos. Springer system also help.
