A Guide to Volunteering Abroad in Vientiane
Volunteering in Vientiane
It is possible to volunteer in Vientiane in a wide variety of placement areas, ranging from construction to medicine to teaching and childcare. Each placement offers volunteers a unique opportunity to work with locals and come to understand their day to day challenges, while contributing to projects that have the ability to improve the lives of generations to come.
Education. As Laos is striving to enter into the global sphere, the nation has put a focus on expanding the education system and increasing educational opportunities in order to better prepare young people for the international job market. Since Laos is a non-English speaking country, one of government’s main goals is to increase English language proficiency among citizens. Hence, there is a growing demand for English teachers in Vientiane, as well as an increased need for teachers to help teach other subjects to a variety of students.
Medicine. Medical volunteer placements in Vientiane provide skilled medical professionals with the opportunity to help local people receive much needed health care. Medical volunteering in Vientiane is also a great way for medical professionals to gain practical experience and develop their own skillset. It is possible to volunteer in Vientiane in many different specialties, including occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and psychology. Volunteers may have the chance to work in rehabilitation centers, therapy clinics, hospitals, and various rural healthcare facilities.
Construction volunteer projects are most suitable for volunteers who want to spend their time in Vientiane doing hands on, physical work. To become a construction volunteer in Vientiane, volunteers do not need any prior construction or renovation experience, all they need is a willingness to literally get their hands dirty (and sweat a lot). Construction placements will require volunteers to assist with light construction and renovation tasks, which may include classroom, medical clinic, child care center, or school building improvements and construction.
Childcare. Volunteers interested in working with children will greatly enjoy childcare volunteering in Vientiane. Placements may include assisting with the day to day care of children with disabilities, organizing games and activities for children at child care centers, or teaching children simple lessons in a variety of subjects.
