THANKS TO ALL OUR SUPPORTERS!

Laotian American Society has just won $10,000 from the CHASE Community Giving Grant!  We couldn’t have done this without all the help from our friends and family, and supporters across the United States and the World!

LAS would like to thank the organizers and volunteers that put together the 2013 AAPI Legislative day at the Georgia capitol.  Georgia has one of the fastest growing Asian Pacific Islander populations in the country, and by voicing our concerns directly to our leaders (and Voting!), we can all perform our civic duty and become better citizens in this great state!

Jai Lao supports higher education for the descendants of Lao refugees living in the United States. On November 2, 2011, Jai Lao launched our first National Scholarship Program offering an aggregate of $10,000 in total grants to eight qualifying students with a projected goal of increasing funds every year. Jai Lao’s National Scholarship Program is aimed at helping students afford college as well as to encourage community involvement while staying connected to their Lao culture and heritage. In a land of opportunities, we strive to give Lao Americans with a desire to give back to society an opportunity to succeed.
