2 inital weeks thst turned into 3, maybe I'd even extended to 4 if there would be not more of Laos to explore! :D From the first minute the team is so welcoming and you instantly feel home at this cozy place surrounded by such a beautiful nature! Teaching the kids was super easy and they were really eager to learn, especially the second class made big steps during my stay which made it even more fun :) The thing about this volunteering is that it doesnt end with the teaching, it's more like an complete camp, you spend almost your whole day with other volunteers, play, talk... so fun! :))

I had such a great time at Sae the organization. I stayed for two weeks but I would have stayed more! Steven, the volunteer coord., was very welcoming and he always took care of us and made sure we were ok. The accomodation was simple but comfortable. The working hours were as described and we had a lot of free time. For me, it was a perfect combination of English teaching and manual work. the organization team was amazing. Getting to know them was a real opportunity to learn all about the culture, food,... Just what I was looking for! And also the most amazing landscape! I really recommend SaeLao to everyone!

A truly beautiful and enriching experience. All the classes follow a curriculum and each lesson is structured which makes it easy if you've never taught before. The Laos and volunteering team is incredible, always there to answer your questions and help you. I am so thankful for everyone at the project for their kindness, passion and involvement ! I completely recommend this volunteering!

I spent 3 weeks volunteering with the project and absolutely loved it! It has been the highest goodbye so far of my trip to say goodbye to the wonderful Laos team that work there and the children in the schools. A really beautiful experience that will stick with me forever. I do wish that volunteers were able to have a little more say on what is working or not working in the curriculum though, especially if we have a career in working with children. However, everyone tries super hard and you feel part of the team instantly! Thankyou Sae the organization!

This was truly a very special experience! I really enjoyed the teamwork and the atmosphere among the volunteers and Team the organization! Teaching is something truly unique — very rewarding work. You connect with locals and nature, exactly what I was looking for. It's not only about contributing to the community, but also about personal growth. It makes you reflect and appreciate things more quickly. All in all, I would recommend this to everyone! And not to forget, the project dog Panda is an absolute sweetheart.
