"LATEST: Congratulations to New Dawners~!! the project was a major success~!!"


We are a group of 22 youths embarking on a youth expedition project to Luang Prabang, Laos from 16 - 31 May 2008. The expedition is jointly organized by the Singapore Buddhist Lodge (SBL) and the NUS Buddhist Society. It aims to fulfill the needs of the students of Muang Kham Primary School. We will be teaching the students basic English, and also engage them in arts and craft sessions after their lessons. In addition, we will be constructing a cement multi-purpose court and pathway to the school.

As of April 2008, we are raising funds to help purchase teaching materials, books, and furniture needed for our project. A part of the funds raised will also go to the filming of a documentary in Laos, and help our participants cover a part of their costs. Please support us by making a purchase at our online boutique Walk-In Felicity. For any queries, please contact us at laoyep08@gmail.com.

on 29 march saturday,

the yao and taiddum tribes went for a short local cip at vsa singapore.



as part of a gift exchange between the students in singapore and laos,

we guided the clients of vsa through the creation of a photoframe.



















the Very Special Arts Singapore is a charity launched in september 1993

with the aim of integrating people with disabilities into mainstream society through the arts.




some simple steps,

like first painting on the background,

stamping patterns onto the frame,

and then attaching the photograph

(of orchids, of merlions, and the singapore river)









the final product,
















a pretty sight to behold indeed.













we will be conducting a similar arts and craft session with the students in laos,

to have the other side of the photoframe completed laotian style

and then brought back to singapore =)
