We are very impressed with the level of documentation provided by Love of Vietnam Expressed.  Lot’s of photos were provided of the trip, and communication was good.   We have had a working relationship with this organization spanning over the past decade.  

This project provided solar lighting to 13 families, who live deep in the mountains on the Laos border.  It is a very remote area, taking hours by motorbike to reach.   

The solar lighting will provide the families lighting at night, being charged during the day.   The solar chargeable USB audio devices were provided with sim cards, containing educational materials for the children, such as language-learning lessons, as well as music.   

The following photos are the delivery of the items.  We were informed there were a lot of rains along the way, which made the journey very challenging due to road conditions.  

The following photos show some of the houses using the new solar panels and lights:
