THE GREEN LION LAOS
💼 What the programme involves
Project Description It is important for a school temple, medical center and other community facilties to have good buildings and facilities on the compound. Currently, some of the infrastructure of these community faciltiies in Vientiane are in a deplorable state. It is in these places where the volunteers can really make a difference for the local people of Laos with their construction and renovation projects. We allocate our volunteers where they are needed the most!. Other project sites where we help the local poor with the contruction project is at local schools, local hospitals, orphanages and housing of the local poor. This improvement in life standard naturally has a positive influence on the mental well- being of the people affected by these renovations/ constructions. The project will be coordinated by our Greenway staff and supervised by a local construction supervisor. The work assignments within this project could range from painting walls/buildings, restoration/upgrading of existing facilities such as patient rooms, sanitation facilities, chairs and tables used in the school or the construction of new facilities/ small buildings.
🏠 Accommodation on site
accomodation and food
The sleeping accommodation for the volunteers is located in the capital city of Laos, Vientiane. This accommodation/guesthouse has single gender shared rooms which will be shared by 2 or 4 people. All the rooms are equipped with a western style toilet and a shower. The meals during the day (breakfast, lunch and dinner) are provided by Greenway and will generally take place at the accommodation and project site, unless stated otherwise. The accommodation is equipped with a Wi-Fi connection which provides the volunteers with free Wi-Fi access. - Most volunteers who participate in this program arrive and begin their experience in Laos on a Sunday. They are located in an accommodation with people from around the world who will join them in the Loas projects for the coming week. Here they will be able to make ‘new' interesting contacts and ‘new' friendships. Our weekly program entails 6 nights and 7 days (arrival on Sunday and departure on Saturday). During this period, Greenway provides the volunteers with transportation, accommodation, food (three meals from Monday till Friday, and two meals during the weekend), all the entrance fees during the introduction week, and project work/activities. Volunteers who desire to arrive earlier (before Sunday) or leave later (after Saturday) than the start or end dates of their program, can book an additional night including three meals for 25 Euro per person per night. The program of the volunteer's project starts always on a Monday and ends on a Friday.
📍 About the location
The capital of Laos, Vientiane is also called 'the City of Sandelwood'. This laid-back and French influenced city, situated at the Mekong river, may just be the cleanest city in the whole of Southeast Asia. With manicured roadside gardens, clean streets and meticulously angled shrubbery, you will hardly believe you were in one of the poorest countries in the world. This ancient city, with a population of around 400.000 people, is very different from any other capital city in Southeast Asia. With its authentic Laotian and French colonial style, it truly is ‘a pearl at the Mekong'.
