Teaching English in Rural Communities in Laos
- Laos
About Program
Education is at the heart of SAE LAO and is what we do best. Our English classes have been the most important part of the project for the community and volunteers since the project opened in 2008.
We use the facilities of three local schools when the "standard school day" has finished. And teach our students for two hours - between 5 pm and 7 pm. Volunteers stay in our dormitory - or our guesthouse for a small daily fee - and are involved with daily tasks and activities that contribute to a happy daily life and the maintenance of the project site and facilities. We have a tuk-tuk to get to schools, the market, and Friday night rides into Vang Vieng - where most volunteers like to go at the weekend! Our project is located 50 meters from Blue Lagoon 1. There are several viewpoints within walking distance. We host a quiz night and have movie nights! You will be part of a dedicated and committed team - from all nations.

Location
Laos is typically not regarded as touristy, especially in comparison to its highly touristy neighboring countries of Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia; however, this is slowly changing as people now associate Laos with a laid back style of living.
