I already got confirmation from COPE-Laos that they are willing to facilitate the delivery of donation to the two poor boys in Xienkhouang province. COPE has already traced the lady health worker I've mentioned in the other post. They are now planning and coordinating how and when to visit those boys to be able to assess their needs and what else can be done for them.
COPE will be providing an appropriate mobility equipment for the lame boy in Khong District because an ordinary wheelchair is not appropriate, considering the difficult terrain in that area.
COPE is also mobilizing partners in Xiengkhouang to facilitate medical check up of the 2nd boy with bedsores living in Thatom. This one will need more help because he is paralyzed at the same time suffers from infection. He may need to get an initial confinement in a hospital and go home later. This means that at least one family member should take off from working in the field and care for him for a while until he is fit enough to go back home. We also need to train family members on how to care for the wounds as they have become too deep and will require longer period to heal.
To those who pledged to provide medical supplies, he will need some materials for cleaning the wounds and also some vitamins to make the wounds heal faster. I hope your pedges are still open. I hope we are not too late to help him.
Those who would like to give monetary donation, please send me an email so I can give you instructions how. I also need to know how much you will be donating so we can track how much fund is intended for the boy and inform COPE. All donations shall go to the boys through COPE and not a single centavo shall go to me and to any of the people who are collaborating with me to facilitate this donation. You may click on my profile here at Samakomlao to send me a message.
Here is the link to COPE Laos website so you can learn more about them. http://www.copelaos.org/
Thank you all for your support! Ganda

I just received my DVD about couple days ago. Do u still want it? If you do,please provide me with your physical add. Thank you.
I didn't know that you are really serious about this. I do love to have a copy of the DVD of "The Betrayal" and I am so humbled and grateful for offering me one of your copies. However, sending me the DVD might cost you more than the amount you paid for the DVD itself as I live very far from where you are. I already checked before that the Guild is not selling it outside the US, where, I assume, you are residing. Besides I also can't post my physical address here for an understandable reason. I bet you tried contacting me through my account here but Im sorry because I already deleted for some personal reasons. I still visit though, once in a while. Besides the mission I started in this forum is almost over. Help is already assured to come to the way of those boys in Xienkhoung no matter what.
Rather than using the money to pay for courier, kindly consider donating it to COPE-Laos so it will benefit any of the children we are trying to help here. I provided in this thread the link to COPE website, you could check it to see how you can send donation. Just leave them a message that the amount you are donating should go to any one of the kids in Xiengkhouang and they know what to do with it already. As for the DVD it would be better to give it to a fellow Laotian, maybe send it to your relatives in Laos. If you have any query I think my email is still posted in one of the quoted replies under the original thread "Anyone with a good heart" (in General), you can use that to send me message.
Please accept my sincerest and warmest gratitude to your offer. Thanks so much and may you be blessed according to your faith.

Watches are a beautiful thing. Certainly, they tell us the time - but aren't they so much more than that? replicas watches Through their watches, a person can express so much, and in a way it could be said:replicas watches Show me your watch and I'll tell you who you are.
I'm not an officer or a prime mover of this project. I just want to help my friend to spread the news of its existence and let its good deeds be known, especially among Laotian.
Just liking the page as a sign of support is sufficient. If you have the time and read on its wall you can find its small scale but life-changing accomplishments. If in anyway those previous activities inspired you to support/ donate... I'm sure it will be highly appreciated by the organizers.
PS @ Cat: this is the brainchild of project "Kurvi" the paralyzed boy whom you helped so that now he can move around.
