From 16th-20th November, former U.S. President and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Jimmy Carter, his wife, Rosalynn, and nearly 3,000 volunteers from around the world are building and repairing 166 homes in countries along the five counties along Mekong - Thailand, Vietnam, China, Cambodia, and Laos.
On Monday, the United States Ambassador to Laos, Ambassador Ravic R. Huso, and other members of the Embassy staff volunteered their time during the Lao-leg of the 26th annual Habitat for Humanity Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project.
In Laos, Habitat volunteers and families refurbished 11 homes in Ban Chansawang village. The community was established in 2001 as a relocation site for the families, mostly traders and laborers, living near a bus terminal in an area that had burnt down. |full story|
