Mission 1 – Day 2

📍 Hosted at the home of MSME President Mr. Litthikay
Despite the rainy season, the evening was filled with warmth, laughter, and cultural exchange as more than 30 participants gathered by the Mekong River for an International Potluck. This special event celebrated friendship and diversity, bringing together flavors and stories from across Asia.
Our heartfelt thanks to Mr. Litthikay, President of the Lao MSME Association, for graciously opening his home and making this gathering possible. Your hospitality set the tone for an unforgettable evening.

A Feast of Cultures
Guests enjoyed a vibrant spread of dishes representing eight countries:

Local favorites from Laos
Delicacies from Taiwan, Bangladesh, Macau, Vietnam
Snacks from Japan and Singapore

Each dish carried a unique story, and every conversation built bridges across borders. It was more than a meal—it was a celebration of unity and shared purpose.
