Here is another great project we were involved with….
A few months ago we delivered 2 wardrobes out to The Hands of Hope Vocational Training Center for the deaf.

These wardrobes were made possible through the generosity of a client and a family from New Zealand.
Once a week for about 4 months a client came and generously donated his time to build these units. While the cost of the materials were then covered by a kind New Zealand family.

So with thanks to these people the two wardrobes were then able to be donated to the Vocational center!

It was an honor to be a part of this project!

Just lately a family has donated the sessions their child attends to the construction of a rescue box for pangolins!
Here is the box the child made and
The Shed team delivering it. A big thank you to the family for their generosity!
When we delivered the box the LCTW had just rescued 4 pangolins! They were amazing to see and also to see the care being shown to the pangolins by the staff!
The final photo is the box in action with the LCTW team on a pangolin rescue!!
Also, if you haven't been to the new LCTW site, I would highly recommend a trip out to see this amazing project that cares for and protects wildlife in Laos!
Thanks!

This year it was great to connect again with Bridge the Gap and to donate some of our toys to the children as they are here in Vientiane awaiting surgery.
Bridge the gap is an amazing project. Life changing for these children! It is thanks to the amazing doctors who offer their services for free and the great team of people that make it happen.
Thank you!

Hi there. So for the last couple of weeks Thavone and Somvang have been training for the 4th National Paralymic Games held here in Vientiane.

An amazing event with amazing and inspiring people.
