My first book drive in Laos!

I kept thinking about this library, and how I could help... They had nothing for me to do as a volunteer, so I decided to create my own project and have a book drive!

There are surprisingly few books in Laos... Many bookstores only rent books rather than sell them, and the public library is no better off. They do however have a good idea.. They created this traveling library concept, and you can put books in this large expandable sheet-like thing, then they roll it up and take it through the villages...

If there is a school that would like to adopt this library and help them out, please contact me or the library directly. The librarian (as seen in the video) is really sweet, and her name is Chantha Souliyasak, and her email is: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

If you'd like to ship books (ANY TYPE OF BOOKS) the address is:

Luang Prabang Library

Saithethathirath Road

Laung Prabang, LAOS

Testimonials

I have personally contributed to their projects, and CAA chose Global Colors to launch our volunteer program in South Africa and Mozambique.

I believe the work they do in the U.S. and around the world is commendable, and I strongly endorse the support of Global Colors.
