I really loved my time at Sae Lao. During my two week stay I really fell in love with the people, both staff and other volunteers and the beautiful mountains and nature surrounding the area. The work was very manageable and well structured so you always knew what you needed to do by when. The team was super welcoming and always helpful when I had questions or requests. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone wanting to teach English and make a real impact :)

I spent 2 weeks in SaeLao and loved it. I felt really welcome and in good hands. You teach for 2 hours in the afternoon. The children are great. They are really motivated and grateful to learn English. You prepare the lessons yourself in the afternoon. Materials for this are provided. There is a good balance between work and free time. Joint excursions are organized. A great project.

The energy and commitment shown by everyone involved was really nice.The drive to make change was impressive.The volunteers also have the chance to discover the local area in their free time which was great.For me the best moments were the interactions with the children in the school.The sparkle in their eyes when we started the lessons their desire to learn and have fun just the pure joy of those hours together.I would have liked to take them all home with me:-) It was a wonderful experience.
