Meet one of our students, Newt! She’s known to our volunteers as one smart cookie. She was raised by a strong woman and it definitely shows . She runs the snack shop, takes care of the kids, and the obvious leader of Sop Chem’s girl gang. Don’t let her size fool you, she will no doubt trick you into buying her Oreos. . We can’t wait for our future Laos volunteers to meet Newt and the rest of the students we love! . 📷 : @emilywanderlife #givelaos #givevolunteers #weloveourstudents #teachabroad #tefl #volunteerabroad #immersivetravel #exploresoutheastasia (at Ban Sôpchèm, Louangphabang, Laos) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt4Fw7Ygegr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1imyko4t6x845

"To Sop Chem: thank you for a week of indescribable bliss. 9,000 miles from home but never felt happier or more in the right place. To my youngins: thanks for teaching me a language barrier does not matter, a smile does." Here's to a summer full of laughter, emotion, and compassion in Laos 💚☺️ . 📸 & caption courtesy of past volunteer @delaneyyoung_ #givevolunteers #givelaos #volunteerabroad #rootsofchange #teamhuman #bethechange

It’s no secret that Laos is a favorite program among our volunteers, simply for the close community connections made in the village of Sop Chem. . To hear about what it’s like to volunteer in Laos, listen to the experiences of our Regional Coordinator @carlymartine herself. Carly was interviewed on the Experiences You Should Have Podcast @experiencespodcast - find it on Spotify under “Volunteer in Laos” for an insider look! . 📷 : @theforeverforeigner #givelaos #givevolunteers #volunteerabroad #travelwithpurpose (at Ban Sôpchèm, Louangphabang, Laos) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAlsdYjD-Nh/?igshid=1q53e6i8le4oh

We’re in a mood for reminiscing. What was a favorite part of your GIVE trip that you think about often? 👇 . . . 📷 : @vicsalvesen #givevolunteers #givelaos #travelwithpurpose #volunteerabroad (at Ban Sôpchèm, Louangphabang, Laos) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAbWJ6IDg-w/?igshid=14lsggenfqh6w

Say it with us 🕺 Ain’t no farming. Like sustainable farming. Because sustainable farming DON’T STOP 🕺 Ayyyy! 🍅🍆🌽🥕 . For real though! Our partnering communities in Southeast Asia have implemented a sustainable farming method called permaculture. This is a method of “permanent agriculture” that has created more efficient results than regular farming through using the biodiversity of the land. By mimicking natural interconnections within the farm, it allows the production of more crops with less resources. So even in the dry season with less water, these farms are still thriving! These permaculture farms are providing food right now to our partnering communities while public markets are unavailable. . So if you’re feeling inspired & celebratory over this sustainable food source, refer to the line up top and repeat as many times you feel necessary 🕺 . #givevolunteers #givelaos #permaculturefarm #farmtotable #sustainableagriculture #volunteerabroad (at Ban Sôpchèm, Louangphabang, Laos) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAWZJ1ZD7J7/?igshid=1wtagnf155nc
