Education has the POWER to change lives

Let the Challenge Begin

March 2013 I decided to undertake a bike ride and raise money for a charity in Laos P.D.R.
Over the last few weeks I have researched and made my decision to donate the money to Lotus Educational Fund.

"Empowering Lotus Girls" hopes to raise funds to educate girls in Laos through a sponsorship bicycle ride . The goal is to cycle 3000km from Northern Thailand to Southern Thailand, ending in Phuket. I am an international school teacher currently living and working in Vientiane, Laos. I'm passionate about cycling and supporting young girls gain access to education. On Sunday June 16th 2013 I look forward to commencing this challenging ride.

"Education has the power to change lives through providing access to opportunities."

The Lotus Educational Fund provides support to young girls from economically disadvantaged backgrounds in rural Savannahket, Laos. All funds donated from this bike ride will go directly to support the girls education. Each year, the Lotus fund provides each girl with a uniform, text books, pencils, back pack
and registration for primary school. In collaboration with the village chief the poorest girls are selected to participate in the program.
An amazing partnership is then formed between the families and the Lotus Educational Fund to ensure that each girl completes her attendance at school and is supported with educational success.

The challenge is to see how many young girl's lives we can change through providing access to education.

$50 provides resources and education for one girl for a year.

How many lives can you change?

Together how many lives can we change?

Lotus Educational Fund and the village chief have identified 20 girls wanting to start school on September 14th 2013.

$1000 - all 20 girls access education for one year - Grade 1.

$2000 - all 20 girls access education for another year - Grade 2.
