According to Mayder Lor, MSCR East High School recreation specialist, “We are supporting and organizing this cause because after doing so many service projects here in our Madison community we wanted to expand and help underserved children in other countries. In this case we chose Laos because some of the funds will support a newly built children's library. Proceeds will help purchase new books, school supplies and scholarship opportunities.”
This cause is close to Lor’s heart, her family is from this region and she helped build the library. Lor and many of the youth performing are Hmong.
The event fee is $5 for students 18 and under (who are still in school) and $10 for adults, age 18 and older. Additional donations are appreciated. All proceeds with help support MSCR East High School Programs and children’s books/school supplies for underserved children in Laos.
