Give Warmth for $20!
December 7, 2009Winter is very severe in Lao Cai, a province in northwest Vietnam. We received an emergency call for help from the Bac Ha Department of Education for donations for supplies for the dormitory kids at all the primary schools and secondary schools in the region to "help the students improve the living standard at the school in upcoming winter and study better."
They would like to provide a winter blanker for 630 students at $20 a piece. They have also requested 655 mosquito nets ($2.85 each) and 655 mats ($2 each). To help meet any of these needs, please click here.
