To raise some funds for the deprived school kids in Laos, I teamed up with Jai Lao Foundation to put together a Lao Cuisine calendar. The calendar will showcase some of the tastiest Laotian food. We’re hoping to raise enough money to get some school supplies for the students in Laos or perhaps even be able to build a playground. (Man it feels good to be doing something positive like this).
Here’s a preview of some of my favorite dishes from the calendar. I will provide more info on how you can order these calendars once we have them ready.
Kaow Poont- Coconut soup in chicken or fish with vermicelli
Mango with sweet sticky rice dessert.
Lao stew. (ok, I don’t know the name of this one)
bamboo soup- eat this with sticky rice and you’ll become authentically Lao.
Papaya salad- probably one of my all time favorite. It can get pretty spicy depending on how you like it. 
These ladies worked extremely hard to cook and prepare these food, so shout out to them.

Hi Ari,
I was browsing through LaoAmericans.com’s facebook page and came across your link. It’s great to see there are so many of us branching out into the artistic realm of society and in return help inspire others. You’re very talented with a gifted eye! I look forward to seeing more of your work! Keep up the great work!!!
