Learn about Laos



In a country profile of Laos, the BBC News reported that, "Laos, one of the world's few remaining communist states, is one of east Asia's poorest countries. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 it has struggled to find its position within a changing political and economic landscape." Read more about this story on the BBC News web site.

T-shirt Distribution


In May 2012, I met Souksakhone Vongdara of Newmarket, Ontario, Canada at a Lao Radio fundraiser. The following month I visited him and presented him with one the T-shirts I had designed for Adopt a Village in Laos in 2011. This gift was to help raise awareness among the Laotian community in Canada about the work of this Canadian charity.

The Dark Days of Laos


Drawn from various archival sources and set to the music of Nella Fantasia, I produced this short video which delves into the secret bombing of Laos by the U.S. (1964 - 1973). On September 17, 2011, this video was presented to a packed house at an Adopt a Village in Laos fundraiser, which was held at the Capitol Theatre in downtown Port Hope, Ontario.
