Last Sunday, 2 volunteers and 2 staff members crammed
themselves plus several items to donate into a mini tuk-tuk and headed to the
village of Phong Peng. We used to teach English on the bottom floor of a house
in this village, about a 5 minute drive from the UNESCO World Heritage town of
Luang Prabang. Since we have been missing our old students we decided to collect
items to donate to them and make a little visit so that everyone could catch
up. We collected about 9 bags of clothing, 3 pairs of shoes, 2 umbrellas and
even 1 bicycle! The students all live in the small house and have moved to
Luang Prabang from remote villages to receive better educational opportunities.
They were so happy to see us again but also to speak a little bit of English
and to see what goodies we brought. Everyone played a couple of games on
geography, drew a little and practiced speaking. It was a short but very sweet
visit and we cannot wait to teach these eager students again soon.
