Description
My name is Onkeo. I am an ordinary villager in Naxao, Laos, and I run a café-restaurant called Nakhoun Café with my family, which is the result of a lifelong dream.
My family used to own the land where the restaurant is located, which happens to have a spectacular view.
Located in the heart of local farmland, and rice fields, our cafe and Restaurant is a must-stop on the way to Luang Prabang s famous Kuangsi Waterfall.
You can enjoy authentic Lao food, a nice cold glass of Beerlao while taking in the beautiful scenery and also meet the friendly locals.
In addition to the restaurant, we have decided to build a guesthouse to accommodate travelers wishing to discover the Luang Prabang region.

- meet and have parties with local people around the village
- learn about Lao cooking

Help
The guesthouse, currently under construction, will have a capacity of 7 rooms with 2 or 3 beds each.
I am looking for volunteers to help the Lao workers in its construction (masonry, electricity, sanitation system, painting). Depending on the abilities and wishes of each person :)
Otherwise, I am looking for help with agriculture: growing vegetables, fruit and flowers. There is a plot of land that would benefit from the advice of a landscaper ;)
Finally, I am also looking for marketing volunteers to assist me in the digital management and visibility of the guesthouse.
