Dear Supporters,
As the year comes to a close, we’re filled with excitement for what’s ahead—and gratitude for everything we’ve achieved together. Before diving into the new year, let’s take a moment to reflect on how far we’ve come as a community committed to making a difference around the world.
In 2024, we expanded our efforts to promote safety and awareness through UXO (Unexploded Ordnance) Avoidance Training in affected areas. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by the Hmong people, an ethnic group with limited proficiency in the Lao language, we have been using Kamishibai—a Japanese storytelling technique that uses picture-based narratives—to make UXO training more accessible and engaging. This year, we renewed and updated the stories to enhance understanding, ensuring the training remains impactful. By fostering inclusive learning experiences, we’ve taken a significant step toward creating safer and more resilient communities.
We also launched the second UXO avoidance training for 38 teachers and village coordinators in Pasay District, Sheng Kwang Province. We’re eager to see the lasting impact these dedicated individuals will bring to their communities.
Our mission is powered by the incredible people we serve—but it’s YOU who make it all possible. Your support helps dreams take flight and creates a safe, welcoming space for those in need. Because of you, we can dream bigger, reach higher, and work harder every day.
Thank you for everything you made happen in 2024.
We can’t wait to see what we’ll accomplish together in 2025!
