Description

Imagine flooded rice fields, dense tropical forests, towering limestone karsts, awesome plateaus, rugged mountains and sweeping plains. Marvel at rivers flowing far and wide through lush landscapes before breaking into spectacular cascades of light. In the streets of Luang Prabang, (Laos second city and a world heritage site), discover ancient sun-baked monastery walls, monks clothed in traditional ochre robes and street markets imbued with the scents and aromas of exotic spices and rare oils.

* What Will I Be Doing?

Your teaching programme will run five days a week for an hour or two each day. You'll be teaching conversational English and the curriculum provided in either a school or community centre. English lessons carry on through the school holidays allowing the project to operate throughout the year. Your class will be made up of different ages and competencies, so imaginative and creative lesson planning is key! For example why not try to use music and song in your lesson to help the less confident students to join in?

As well as teaching you will also have the opportunity to fill up the rest of your days taking part in other valuable projects currently running on the farm, this could involve anything from organic farming, sustainable building, feeding baby animals such as goats and piglets or even helping out at the fruit shack!
