Friday 29th November | Warm thanks to our generous sponsors and golf players who joined yesterday the 3rd edition of Austcham Charity Golf Day at the prestigious Long Vien Golf Club.
Participants had a fantastic golfing afternoon, thanks to the sponsorship of Ford Jaguar Land Rover and Phu Bia Mining as Gold sponsors, Mekong Timber Plantations and BFL as Silver sponsors and Coca-Cola as Bronze sponsor.
Crowne Plaza, LaoDerm, Barron Golf and MEG (Market Expansion Group) provided additional excitement on the day by sponsoring holes prizes for the lucky winners.
Ms Lisa Mortimer, representative from the Australian embassy, and Mr Simon Hirst, Group Country Manager Laos for RMA Group, kicked off the event by thanking all golfers for their support to the Lao Association for Autism (AfA, Lao Autism).
This non-for-profit association was established in 2012 by parents and guardians of people with autism in Laos. It provides persons on the autism spectrum disorder the opportunity to gain access to education, therapy and employment. It also aims at supporting and improving awareness of the difficulties faced by those people in Laos on the spectrum.
During dinner time, golfers were treated to a heart-warming performance by a group of autistic children supported by the AfA and prizes were awarded to the winners.
A great end to a fantastic day !
