The Big Brother Mouse annual report
The Big Brother Mouse website.
One of the charities we support in Southeast Asia, Big Brother Mouse, has just emailed us to tell us that they have now produced an annual report of what they did last year – and previous years.
The charity, which is in effect a publisher, aims to promote reading to both children and adults throughout Laos. The numbers show steady increases year-on-year, which of course all bodes well for the future.
Read about what they had to say and look at the numbers.
Dear friends and supporters,
A donor recently asked if we had an annual report that we could send. Well, no, we didn’t, we’ve never produced one. It’s not required or even expected here, and we’ve been busy.
But the question got us to thinking that perhaps it was time to begin. So here it is. We haven’t tried to follow any official format, we’ve just thought about what we might like to see in such a report, if we were in your position, and to provide numbers, descriptions, and photos that give a picture of our year.
We hope this will help you get a better picture of what we’re doing, and what you’ve made possible. It’s fine to pass it along to others who might be interested.
With warm wishes,
Sasha, and all of us at Big Brother Mouse
