I have boxes of children's clothes and laptop computers and supplies

WHAT I DO: I teach students from very poor families computing skills. 10% of children never attend school. I also facilitate goods to in-need communities.

MORE DETAILS: The laptops are second-hand, with open source Office software loaded. They also have English teaching software loaded so students can practice English as well as computing.

ABOUT ME: I have been going every year since 2013 and seen the difference our help makes. Thank you for your generous and kind support. Every dollar and donation goes a long way and together we do make a real difference in people's lives.

THANK YOU!

Help A little's involvement (page creator)

I have shown on-going committment to projects over the last 3 years. I use my IT skills to teach in schools and in 2015 established a permanent IT teaching facility at a charity school.

I am returning to develop this further and volunteer in other local community education projects and support Lao youth struggling to access education.

Education is a sustainable way to improve peoples lives living in severe poverty.

Whilst there are many organisations which seek to support education, a substantial gap exists for many young people whose only option is working on the family farm at a subsistence level.

Too many foreign projects have built schools or similar infrastructure and then walked away, thinking they have made a difference - this is different.

A decent job means young adults can support not only themselves but contribute towards their family. People with jobs usually pay for their siblings education too.
