LaoOz Inc is a Sydney based community group formed with the following three objectives:
1. Providing support to underprivileged primary schools in Laos:
LaoOz will provide donations of school equipment, educational materials/stationery and construction of much needed facilities such as toilets, classrooms and libraries. LaoOz has a philosophy of not donating cash but will directly purchase and donate the items in person by a member of the Lao Oz team. From time to time members will be invited to attend fundraising events as well as opportunities to travel to Laos and help with the physical donation and construction of school facilities.
2. Preserve and promote Lao culture and identity in Australia:
Lao Oz aims to organise and assist in the formation of different events and ongoing activities that will help maintain Lao culture and traditions in Australia. Examples include arts and cultural performances, food festivals, Lao language classes for adults and children, study and leisure tours to Laos. The foundation is also focused on fostering projects which will bridge the inter-generational gap of people with Lao heritage.
3. Point of contact for all things Lao:
Lao Oz will be a source of information and networking opportunities as well as a link in facilitating ongoing positive relations between Laos and Australia in areas of education, community development and human resource. Lao Oz can be contacted for comments, assistance on ideas and projects or simply wanting direction on anything related to Laos. YOU ARE INVITED TO BE PART OF THE TEAM.....
If you share this same passion about supporting community projects in Laos, have great ideas to improve the Lao community in Australia or simply would like to donate your time and skills for an upcoming event and projects then we would really like you to join our team. If you have further questions you can email committee members directly on [email protected] or simply leave a message on this page. Hope to hear from you and thank you in advance for your assistance
