Program Impact
Young novice monks are looked after by monasteries in Luang Prabang until they are 18. Volunteers can make a huge difference to their lives by helping to teach them English, which will widen their career options should they choose to leave the monasteries. Many monasteries are heavily under resourced and that is where this project can help provide further classes.
