25.01.2022 Every two minutes somewhere in the world, a child dies from malaria. Countless more suffer needlessly from this devastating - and preventable- disease. bit.ly/3nBTej0 Your gift of insecticide-treated mosquito nets is one of the most cost-effective ways to save lives.
15.01.2022 At just eleven years of age, Lailor joined the ChildFund Pass It Back program. At that time, she would help her parents with housework and also looked after family’s grocery store. Taking part in a new sport with new people was not easy. Lailor explains: When I first joined the program, it was very difficult because the players came from different schools and we were not familiar to each other.... We spent almost a month getting to know each other. During that time, I played rugby twice a week after school. At the age of 14, Lailor turned her attention to coaching. I started playing rugby since grade 6, Lailor says. I had been playing rugby for almost three years before applying to become a coach with Lao Rugby Federation. Now I’ve been a coach for almost two years.
