New Day funds the Counseling and Protection Center for Women and Children in Vientiane, Laos

On the 25th of September we delivered a cheque for HK$ 80,000 to the Asia Foundation offices in Hong Kong. The monies have been deposited into the Asia Foundation trust account to be disbursed to the Laos Women’s Union. The equipment for the multi-purpose room will be purchased according to the procurement policies of the Asia Foundation. All relevant quotations and receipts will be forwarded to New Day along with the final amount spent by the Lao Women’s Union. Any excess funds will be returned to New Day or will be used to purchase additional items needed by the Shelter upon permission given by New Day. We will monitor this project on an ongoing basis and provide members with feedback as and when it becomes available, along with photographs of the completed room and details of its usage.
