Land of the Sky/Heaven - Lao Students Story Writing
Officially they're calling it Critical and Creative Writing Development for Lao Youth. The book is called Land of the Sky (or the translation could also be Land of Heaven or Heaven's Land).
This is an awesome literary project involving stories written by students from Paksong, Champassak. With support from an iNGO called Global Association for People and the Environment (GAPE).
It's great to see talented young writers get into literature and creative story writing. If you're looking for bilingual Lao/English literature online this is a great site for that too. You can download and view a variety of stories.
Many of the stories have lessons to be learned (almost like parables) such as the story of The Fish Are Gone and That Friend of Our's. There's at least 21 stories posted on their website.

Illegal Forest Logging and Deforestation in Laos By Vietnamese
An iNGO called Environmental Investigation Agency last year (2011) did a revealing investigation into how Vietnamese companies (and those that support them) are taking logs from Laos over the border into Vietnam. It's so incredibly sad to see Laos' natural resources be taken like this and for no benefit to Lao people. Deforestation in Laos remains a big issue.
Laos is like a sanctuary as it's a country that's in the middle of Southeast Asia surrounded by huge populated countries. Its forests remain one of the few refuges for animal life and the people who depend on them.
