We can not express our gratitude enough to the entertainers/singers and dancers, who have travelled from so far to volunteer their valueable time and invalueable talent.

All the singers, from Mr. Voradeth Dithavong, Phone Phoummithone, Kith Chitarath and Phonesouk and many other singers and dancers all volunteered o­n the faith of LAS and its cause and were not paid for their services.

The evening’s entertainment also included a unique treat of a colorful and lively dances and performances: the Georgia Dance Academy, 4 Moua Girls, Vasna Traditional Thai Troupe, Royal Lao Classical Dancers, and Indian Dance.
