Our mission.

Our mission is to expand the horizons of underprivileged Lao youth through subsidized English language classes. The English language opens the door to many rewarding careers and opportunities previously unavailable to students from these areas. Despite their proximity to the increasingly popular tourist destination of Luang Prabang and the large influx of associated tourist dollars, many villagers in the peripheral villages do not enjoy the same economic boost. Many of the English students attend evening classes in addition to their regular Lao curriculum, meaning they spend nearly every hour of the day in school or travelling from one school to another. Their motivation is rewarded, however, with the outstanding attention and dedication of Teacher Jer. Affordable English language classes are practically impossible for many  Lao villagers to afford, but Jer & Lia make time in their already busy schedules to ensure these students get the education their enthusiasm deserves.
