Library for Laos was a 2005 Student Council fund raiser that raised enough money to provide a school in Laos with a new Library (from less than scratch). Not only that, but there was money left over.

Background Info
Melanie Kempster was a member of Teaching staff who left the school in Term 3 of 2004. She took on an Australian Government teacher education position in Laos.

Subsequent to this she made a request to the ELTHAM College Community for funds to build a Library for a school in Laos.

Student Council took this on as a major project for the year and through a variety of activities managed to raise well in excess of the $10,000.00 that Mel stated was necessary for the project. 

As a way of saying thank-you the Students of Senh Sa-ath High School & Phonesy Secondary School sent these drawings to us. They depict nature/ scenes of village life in Loas.

These pictures arrived in early 2006. More>
