Adhara Charity
The Adhara Foundation will be set up in collaboration with the Thunderbird Group
and Kameha Grand Hotel in Bonn. The aim of the foundation is to provide
scholarships and financial assistance to selected poor students in Laos.
With the assistance of the Laos Ministry of Education, we will select applicants
of outstanding potential who are unable to study because of financial hardship.
We will encourage them to complete their studies and continue toward their
career objective. We will concentrate on the Northern province of Luang Prabang.
In 2010, Kameha Grand Hotel plans to donate one Euro per guest per stay to this cause
Other events, including a donor charity dinner and painting exhibition are planned
later this year to raise more funds.

Villa Viceroy - Laos
The former royal residence, Jean-Marc's second home in the World Heritage city of Luang Prabang,
has now been renovated and is looked after by a staff of 7.
Next year, Villa Viceroy will become a "Club Privé", with just 12 selected members.
The aim is to preserve this historical house and allow the members to enjoy this
somnolent, sacred and sensual city, and appreciate its fabled slow pace of life.
