I was supposed to stay at the center for 2 weeks but I left at the beginning of the second. Honestly, I’ve had a mixed experience.
The work required isn’t much: you are asked to help with English lessons for 3 hours a day: 1 hour for the boys who take part of the rehabilitation program, and the other 2 hours for the two families’ children. Just… read more

By far one of the best volunteerings we've done! 💛 We completely loved the experience. The reason why we do Workaway is to be able to experience the culture and get to know the country, and this Workaway gave us everything to make us feel welcome in Lao and in their house. We learned so much and shared so many moments with the boys and the family… read more

Hi,
I spent about 4 weeks working here with Khaek and Ting, Bunmi and Kham and the boys. They did a lot to make me feel welcome. The center is about 23 km from the center of Vientiane, and about 1 km from the main road, where you can get transport. It is fairly rural, and they have goats and 2 cows at the center, some chickens and some fish.… read more
