Ban Phao School: October was an exciting time at the Ban Phao School as students are returning to school after a month long holiday. The raining season is over and the children enjoy returingn back to school. As they had asked me to provide a volunteer’s teacher that can participating longer at their school. The school is looking for teachers in English, Science, Computer and many other subjects. The students told me that they enjoyed the English teacher (Zach) and they learned so much by exchanging culture and language.
October is a good month for the village too. Every year they have a festival which translates as “Fire Dragon that is shooting to the sky”. Each year, many people travel to their village to see the dragon shooting the fire into the sky. The festival generate important income for their village.
At this present, SEDA and the community is trying to raise funds to install windows in the classrooms. SEDA’s partner in the USA is trying to raise funds to purchase computers for the children.
Ban Hai School Report: This village is quiet in October. The children at Ban Hai also enjoyed their American English teacher and hope to have similar opportunities in the future. SEDA is planning to implement computer courses at the Ban Hai school as well.
SEDA hopes to expand the work going on in these two schools across Laos. Nationwide, there is a lack of books, proper classrooms, etc. SEDA is working tirelessly to continue to provide learning opportunities for these young students.
