Introduction
After the secret war in Laos, the country never fully managed to get back on its feet. And the remnants of this war could not be more prominent than in Xiengkhouang. Living in Meuang Kham, you can still hear bombs being detonated every day as they continue to work to clear the unexploded ordinances from the rice fields where families still live, work, and let their children play. And unfortunately, it's hard for students who want to have options outside the subsistence farming life.
Report
This project provides English teaching to those community members that would like to do something to improve their future options. English is a critical skill for the community as it is an essential requirement of any job in the big cities. Even as a mechanic it is useful to know English to communicate with customers. Tackling the issue of access to education we are building an english education centre that will open with your support. We have already launched in October 2022 and offer 3 classrooms but still have a long way to go.
Thank you for your support.
