GIVE LAOS 🫶🏼
January 14, 2026by: Emma Emanuel - United StatesProgram: GIVE Laos: Community Empowerment & Wildlife Conservation
GIVE did it again with giving me a second 10/10 trip! The Laos team is nothing short of AMAZING, inspiring, and smart and I am grateful to have gotten to travel with them and learn from them all. Being in the village of Sop Chem was special as I became close to several locals and had the privilege of gaining knowledge of their culture. Beginning with breakfast and ending the day with “good vibes” this organization does one incredible job establishing a personalized and thoughtful itinerary for us travelers. It was an amazing experience working with locals while constructing a road and teaching English to the students of Sop Chem! I also appreciate the pay now, book later option making trips like these more accessible for college students like me! Thanks again GIVE, looking forward to Tanzania and Zanzibar!

Most impactful thing I have ever done!
December 18, 2025by: Emelia Iversen - United StatesProgram: GIVE Laos: Community Empowerment & Wildlife Conservation
This trip completely changed my outlook on life and what I want to do in the future. I grew so much as a person and did things that were out of my comfort zone. Teaching english left the most impact on me, as it was something I never thought I would get the opportunity to do. It was the coolest thing I have ever done and I cannot wait to go on another trip!
