Fund Raiser for Children’s Books in Laos – Monday, April 27 – Friday, May 1! In an effort to be “responsible travelers,” before leaving on this round the world adventure we incorporated a non-profit (Socioeconomic Ventures Inc.) with the purpose of advocating charitable causes we encountered while on the road. Yes, I m Still Alive.

SocioEconomic Ventures, Inc. A worldwide social web campaign to increase opportunities for child literacy in the country of Laos. In a 5 day blitz campaign. That collected hundreds of twitter updates and blog posts around the web (including recognition from the St. Louis Cardinals and the World Bank), LibraryForLaos.org succeeded in funding reading programs and book purchases for 6 rural village schools. Giving between 500-600 impoverished students. A chance at a better future. Hope For Haiti Happy Hour.
