The Assessment

What kind of help or resources do you need to turn your project idea into a completed mashup?

We need more volunteers in the US and in Thailand as well as in Europe. We need donors who can help contribute ideas and strength to our management effort. We need donors and people who can help with fundraising, training, grantwriting. With a better established more stable budget and the skill to accomplish that we can do much better at human rights protection and malaria prevention in Laos.
