LAOS / GVI
Join this short term but vital construction project in Laos, and travel to the protected world heritage site of Luang Prabang, a fascinating town packed with culture and surrounded by stunning mountains and waterfalls.
Your project focus is always based on what the need within the community is, and predominantly concentrates on construction and/or renovation of educational facilities. Your work could involve refurbishment of classrooms, maintenance work at our temple schools – making bricks, laying cement, digging wells.
Despite being a short term project, your contribution can make a very real difference to the lives of many children and families, as well as the wider community.
Volunteers will have time off at weekends to explore the region and so can take a scenic boat trip up the Mekong to the Pak Ou Caves, watch the sunset from atop Mount Phu Si, swim in the Kuang Si Waterfalls, marvel at the many temples, trek, raft or take an elephant tour. This is the perfect way to explore one of the countries in Asia least tarnished by tourism.
