Learning through teaching

I had the incredible opportunity to spend two months in the unique city of Luang Prabang, Laos volunteering with Gvi to teach English to young adults and novices and monks. It was such an enriching experience in so many different ways. On one hand, i was trained in TEFL and learned lots about the Lao culture and Buddhism. Spending time with young novices made me appretiate their culture and their values more than ever and the way they made me feel from being so grateful with everything I taught them was simply unforgettable. On the other hand, I could spend all my mornings, nights and weekends walking around the small city if Luang Prabang which I found so different from any other city thanks to its small buildings, calmed streets, lovely people and numerous temples all around. I really enjoyed and would totally recommen the project to anyone who likes interacting with students and helping them. It is not hard to teach, it only takes love and disposition.
