Ford Motor Company and Lao Ford City are collaborating with the Lao National Institute of Tourism and Hospitality (Lanith) to hold a community development activity at Thintom Primary School under the title Ford Global Caring Month. The activity will be held on November 5 in Hadxaifong district, Vientiane, led by Lao Ford City Sales and Operations Manager, Mr. Chakkaphonh Malabandith, and Director of Lanith, Ms Sayavath Chasane. Mr Chakkaphonh Malabandith said Lao Ford City received US$4,000 from their parent company towards the outreach programme. The company has initiated a corporate social responsibility campaign to assist with social and environmental issues. This is not the first time Ford has reached out to the community at large.
