        Only $40 millions? 
        if only $1 million goes to the poor folks, it is good enough
        but in the real world in Laos, it goes into the darkness
        we will payback by selling all our natural resources, until Laos become a  
        dessert

The money will go to fund various  Lao Government's  poverty eradication projects. It will benefit the entire Lao population.

The Lao Government are not require to pay anything back. It is a grant, not a loan.
