Sae Lao is an amazing project which brings together people with ambitions for a better future who are grateful for all opportunity to improve, and people passionate about helping others. A positive atmosphere of collaboration is created thanks to sharing even common daily tasks between all volunteers. The Lao team is incredibly friendly and makes sure everyone feels welcome and comfortable. Participating in the project is a unique experience that gives one a chance to dive into local culture, leave a positive impact, as well as develop their own personal skills.

I had an amazing experience at Sae Lao; in fact, I wish I had the time to stay longer. Not only did I meet incredible people, I also grew in my abilities to teach English, which is something I'd never done before. The atmosphere at Sae Lao is very welcoming, and the staff work really hard to provide quality services to the local children. I highly recommend Sae Lao to anyone looking for an authentic experience in Lao, as well as anyone who wants to slow down for a bit and spend time with some lovely children.

My volunteering experience at SAE LAO was wonderful!! I felt very welcomed and had the opportunity to meet many incredible people during my time here. The team's dedication to providing free accommodation for the kids is truly inspiring. Big thanks to Tui, Peter, Vee, and the rest of the team for making my experience so positive- it felt like being part of a big family. The kids were so respectful and nice, I loved teaching them!! It's an experience I'll keep for life. Food and accommodation were also good! - The curriculum could use some work, but I'm sure it'll be more effective in time
