This was our very first workaway experience. And it couldn't be any better. The atmosphere of the centre is very welcoming and friendly. We instantly felt like a part of family. Boys are incredible. We have had so much fun teaching english or just simply being around them. We came there to teach, but actually we think that they are real teachers… read more

My first workaway experience and I loved every moment of it!
I contacted them last minute, and Khaek told me that even thought they have a volunteer already, i can stay, and sleep with the boys. Which made the experience even more meaningfull. For the 2,5 week I spent there, they treated me like a family member, and i could also easily connect to… read more

I got in touch with Khaek in the first place in the beginning of 2018, as I was looking for a place to stay and help, not so far from Vientiane, during around 5-6 months.
The first time I got there, I didn't find it so easy to reach the center as I was rushing, had troubles with my thai mobile phone, and mainly because it was the very first time… 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

I spent two weeks here and really enjoyed it. The boys are great and very friendly . However I do feel a little of a fraud as I did not do much except teach English for one hour a day.

Don't come here expecting all the home comforts. Washing is local stile and only cold water. There is no wifi . The meals are simple but tasty. There are goats,… read more

It was wonderful to spent a month here. From all the things I did in two years of voluntaring around the world I would say this is in the top 3. All the people were so loving and caring. Although it's not a luxurious place and very basic it's all you really need. I would recommend anybody to come and teach English and any other trade or… read more

We stayed in the center for 3 weeks and it was a great experience! :)

We had the opportunity to live with two lovely families (Ting, Khaek, Bounmi and Kham :) ) and the boys who are in the center. We are so happy because we learnt a lot of things from them.
First of all, the daily Laotian lifestyle and their culture. The food was very tasty… read more

We found this place on the host list and really liked the concept of the centre. Before arriving communication with the host Khaek was really good and we got all the information we needed.

We volunteered at the transformation centre for two weeks teaching English to a group of young men in the mornings and to Ting, Khaeks wife in the afternoons.… read more

During our stay we were made to feel part of the family as there are two families who live and work at the transformation centre to support the young men. Everyone was so friendly during our two week stay. The accommodation was very basic but fine. The washing facilities are with a bucket of water as there is no hot water, again this was fine and part of the cultural experience. The food provided was local Lao food and was delicious.

Before we arrived we were a little apprehensive about teaching at this sort of project, but we found all of the young men there polite and keen to learn English and better themselves for when they leave the centre and they were all a joy to teach. The centre use very basic books to teach English. We didn't use these, instead we asked the students on the first day what they wanted to learn and worked out lesson plans around this using the Internet on our phones as there is no wifi, the student's love fun games and activities for the lessons, so having Internet on our phones was essential for us. There are no teaching supplies, except a white board, so if you can it maybe a good idea to take some with you. Such as spare paper, coloured pens etc.

The area where the centre is located is fairly remote, although there are several small stalls in walking distance that sell snacks, drinks, toiletries etc. During times when we were not teaching we often went out for walks during the day and watched the young people play football twice a week. At weekends we were free to do our own thing, so we got the local bus to Vientiane which is quite straight forward and also we were lucky enough that Khaek and Ting took us out in their van to see some local attractions.

We were so sad to leave the project and wish we could have stayed longer. If you are in Lao and looking for a worth while volunteering opportunity, we would definitely recommend the transformation centre. Once again many thanks to Khaek, Ting, Kham, her husband and the other volunteers, Sandra and Jordi and also all the young people staying at the centre for making this one of the best experiences of our travels.
