LanternProjects.org

For those of you interested in giving a tax-deductable donation to help build a bathroom in at a primary school in Vientiane, Laos, please check out LanternProjects.org, "a non-profit organization that was established in 2003 to raise funds for small projects around the world. The projects request small amounts of funding for specific items. This enables adults and children an opportunity to contribute a small amount of funds and see that their funds really make a difference in someone's life. "

Project #50: $100.00 provides a tank for water collection and a trough for washing hands for 300 students at the Pakthong Primary School in Vientiane. $120.00 will buy a septic tank, $200.00 provides one stall with a water-sealed toilet. This project is being overseen by the Women's International Group I am involved with.

Should you be interested, checks should be sent to:
Lantern Projects
51 Glen Alpine Rd.
Piedmont, CA 94611

Please indicate that funds are for Lantern Project #50 or indicate the project in Laos. 100% of the funds collected will go to the project. A thank you note will be sent to each donor that will indicate the amount of their contribution and provide a tax id number of LanternProjects so that they can have a tax benefit. Please include an email address (preferable) or a home address so that the acknowledgement letter can be sent. The letter generally is sent within 24 hours of the receipt of the funds.

If you do make a donation, please let me know so I can notify the Women's International Group executive committee how wonderfully generous my family and friends are.
