The Pakse Flood Relief Benefit Concert was a huge success. 🙏🏽Together, our community helped raised $10,250 which will support individuals & families impacted by the flood in Laos. We would like to give huge shoutout to all of the organizers (Anusone, Diane, LCCCF, LACF) volunteers, and Lao elders who has managed to pull this event together with 1 1/2 month of planning. Lastly, thank you to our community members for the continuous love and support. More videos and updates of the distribution in Laos to come!! #lacfresno #laos #laotian #jailao #laosupply
