Summit Educational Outreach is excited to announce the 2008 Laos Outreach program. SEO maintains strong contacts in Pakxe,(pop. 70,000) Laos, who will offer us the opportunity to give aid directly to schools where the need for basic supplies is among the greatest in the world. Quality education is an essential element in socio-economic progress, and in Laos, where English or French fluency is at a premium, SEO's outreach will help to enable primary school children in Pakxe to rise out of abject poverty.

Elementary schools in Laos have difficulty providing language and basic education however, because they lack the most essential materials including pencils, paper, maps and books as well as soccer balls, jump ropes and recreational equipment. SEO’s Laos Outreach project will provide these badly needed supplies to an elementary school in the city of Pakxe in southern Laos as well as selected rural school just outside the city limits. To learn how you can help with this great project, please visit our donation page. More about the 2008 Laos Program
