This report summarizes Firefly Mission’s Laos projects in the year of 2020.
Background
Firefly Mission (FFM) made its first recce trip to Laos in Jan 2013, since 2013 to end 2020, FFM has fully sponsored 21 schools, partial sponsored 3 schools and 1 dormitory in Laos. Each school that we build symbolizes a little dot of light, a light of hope for a brighter future for the children of Laos… together we light up the world.
For the year 2020, due to Covid-19, there are shortage & delay in supply of building materials thus construction works have to be stopped resulting in delays in building of schools in Laos. In addition, FFM team are not able to travel to Laos to witness the handover opening ceremonies of the schools and other FFM’s projects.
