Volunteer with children in Laos

Volunteer travel - what's it all about?
Are you looking for an adventurous trip with a purpose, or on a gap year or career break? If you want to make a difference in some of the world’s most important conservation areas - and in community projects - then volunteer trips are for you! Volunteers tend to have a sense of adventure, and come from a range of different backgrounds and from all over the world.
Edward Abbey said 'sentiment without action is the ruin of the soul'.

How this holiday makes a difference

This programs works in a range of pre-schools, schools and local language centers to give the children within the local communities to practice their English language skills with fluent speakers; and improve their educational and employment prospects as a result. The local teachers have few educational resources, as the national government is heavily dependent on foreign support-aid, and as such as a volunteer you can make the difference by providing additional supplementary assistance, and be part of the effort to broaden educational opportunities in Laos. As Luang Prabang and the nearby communities develop their tourism and adventure potential, the importance of well resourced and effective English language skills, learned from a young age, become evermore apparent.
