Adopt A Village In Laos
We are now 6 weeks into our new year and there has been a lot of activity. Our treasurer told me that we had actually raised $179,400 last year! I knew we had done better than previous years but didn’t realize just how much! So cool! As it turned out, the big water project for […]
