Think global. experience local. From our years of experience working and traveling throughout Laos, we have built strong relationships with countless villages throughout Laos. Because of this our study groups are warmly welcomed by the community and can immerse themselves in village life and appreciate a much wider view of the world. Students can learn traditional handicrafts, assist with farming chores and work alongside teachers to help children with their studies, art projects and sports. And each group can make a lasting difference in the community by working alongside villagers on repair and construction projects. Past projects include: • building school desks • rice planting and harvesting • school construction and repair • rebuilding a temple fence
