| Clare & Jeannette |
One of the first jobs of the day is to start my computer to catch-up with overnight news from Laos and our worldwide team of volunteers and supporters. This morning I had received a dozen emails. I scanned them and decided to read Claire's first. She told me the wonderful news of her fund raising dinner. A packed restaurant had enjoyed a Lao/Thai dinner washed down with genuine Beer Lao. Claire told her guests about the work of LEOT and raised a fantastic AUD $1120 to help the students in our school in Luang Prabang.

School Director Jeannette always has a very long wish list including bikes for students from the villages that have no transport and books for our library.

| Clare's fund raising dinner in Canberra
We are very lucky to have a number of volunteers like Clare that give their time and skills to help the many poor students that are determined to improve their lives through education. They come with many different skills ranging from teachers to IT experts and carpenters.
 Clare has helped us greatly working with School Director Jeannette to develop the schools curriculum, carrying out teachers training, writing new tests and examinations and interviewing new students for places at school |
Being a volunteer at LEOT can also be an adventure when just getting to work involves a boat trip across the Nam Khan river and then wading ashore or taking aid to a rural village.
