I had dreamt for this day for so long but it was nothing like I could ever imagine. Being able to see one of our schools in real life was just one of the most surreal things I ever experienced. I'm very pleased to announce that SaenOudom (aka Beauty Of Knowledge School) currently educates over 100 children with 4 teachers. The village is located up high in the mountains with no roads, electricity and clean water making it highly inaccessible. Now, they are learning every single day and hopefully the school will equip them with knowledge for their future. I walked into the classroom to take a peak of their daily school life and once they saw me, they stood up and said “Good morning teacher”. It was so adorable. I’ve never seen a child's eyes light up so much from a single lollipop either. I actually asked Tim today, how come the children here in Laos seem so much cuter. He didn’t take long to answer, because they just seem extra cheerful and grateful. It really is true. Some of the most joyful people really are the ones that don’t have a lot. I want you guys to see this is what YOU did. Together, we truly made a difference to the lives of these children. I hope we don’t stop here. I hope this inspires us all to keep going and to keep giving. The more you give, the more you receive. Today is a day I will never forget. I want to thank all of you for supporting our schools through your kind donations and purchases of the charity hoodies/shirts. I also want to thank Kenn for being a wonderful friend and manager because if it weren’t for you- I would never had known such a wonderful organisation. You also joined me by flying all the way across the world to be here in Laos to help with construction. Of course, I have to thank the Pencils Of Promise team for being so wonderful for everything they have done so far. I see how passionate you guys are and I’m so proud. Last but not least, glory to the Lord! @pencilsofpromise @bubzhubz #thankyou #wedidit #everyonehaspromise #pencilsofpromise Pencils Of Promise
