My daughter - Louxong

Louxong is my daughter, kind of, and she is Laotian. Don't worry, I didn't secretly have a child with a Laotian monk! Haa.
She is actually my sponsered child under World Vision's child sponsership programme which I have just signed up for. She is 9 years old this year, lives in the rurals of Xieng Nguen, northen Laos. Looks very pretty from the photo, but can see a hint of sadness in her eyes. Hopefully, with my little bit of help, her next picture will be one with a smile.
Been wanting to sponser a child ever since I learnt about World Vision back in 2000. Must thank Kit Chan for that! Haa. She's my idol, and was World Vision's ambassador for that year, that's how I got to know about it. Didn't get round to doing this till now cos money is a factor. Actually, it isn't a lot. Only $45/mth for each sponsered child. But guess back then, I dun have the spare cash. Now that I am earning a regular income, it's time for me to contribute as I have intended years ago.
It's only natural that my country of choice is Laos. Afterall, I have a 剪不断，理还乱relationship with Laos. Well, technically it's not really complicated also lah. It's just that Laos has always occupied a special place in my heart. Hee. Anyhow, I have the intention to slowly increase my number of sponsered children as my finances become more 宽裕. Next country on the pipeline will be either Cambodia or Thailand. Cambodia because of PA2, my life changing experience. Thailand.. Haa.. Well.. Massage and.. Him! Haa.
If your finances allow, I encourage you to join the child sponsership programme. I am sure it will be a very enriching contribution as you get to correspond with your child and learn about each other's lives. Think about it! We can then share our parenting experiences together!! Haa.
