Grand Opening at Vangtang in the Lao PDR!

It’s been a while coming, but the Grand Opening of the new school in Vangtang Village is at hand. Hats off to Howard Stauffer, The Arcata Sunrise Rotary Club, Eureka Rotary Club, Hans Eide, Ben Fairless, Ken Phetsayphone and others for making it happen.
Howard, his daughter and some others are in SE Asia right now to attend the Grand Opening ceremony which occurs in just a few days time.
Howard has set up a blog to share the event:
“Return Bicycle Trip to Laos for the Opening Ceremony of the Vangtang Village School”
Watch the blog and send Howard a note. It’s a pretty special thing to go on a bike trip and end up building a school half way around the world.
Here is a picture of the Arcata Sunrise Rotary Club. I’ve added the arrow to identify Harold (aka “Big Ring”) Stauffer.
