Channapha Khamvongsa, Legacies of War Executive Director

On the afternoon of Saturday, February 9, 2013, I sent an email to Legacies of War to inform them about my own small efforts to raise awareness for their organization. Below is the contents of the email which I sent and the response which followed.

Dear Legacies of War: 

I simply wanted to share with you my own efforts in helping to raise awareness for your organization. 

I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and volunteer with a Canadian charity called Adopt a Village in Laos, which through its various humanitarian projects improves and empowers the lives of the villagers of rural Laos. 

In the latter half of 2012, I created a little blog called The Laos Experience, which you can visit at http://thelaosexperience.blogspot.com/. This blog contains direct references to your organization or talks about the bombing legacy in some way. 

Yours sincerely,
Roland Drake

When I checked my INBOX the following morning, I was delighted to discover an email from the Executive Director of Legacies of War, Channapha Khamvongsa. The message had been delivered only a few hours after I had sent my message that Saturday afternoon.

Her reply reads as follows:

Dear Roland, 

Thank you so much for your note. I'm glad to learn about your work in Laos and support of Legacies of War. 

I look forward to connecting more in the future. Please include us in your future updates. I'm also cc'ing my colleagues so they can check out the blog. 

Best wishes,Channapha
