📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

This project is actively working for SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDGs 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), organized together with Phoudindaeng Youth Center (PYC) since 2009. PYC's main projects are running a school bus, teaching English in extracurricular classes, supporting the construction of a community center and establishing a library. Considering the increasing demands of villagers, PYC was officially established in 2007 which has played important roles for personal growth, life-long education and formation of leadership skills. PYC also keeps money little by little from the volunteers fee and sponsors the teachers' salary in the elementary school of the mountain connecting the children of 3 races (Lao, Mon and Khum) since the government neglect the school as well as youth employment from low income families, but more funds are needed (to buy a new van, etc.). In 2025, 3 workcamps were successfully organized with 15 vols. from Japan, Vietnam and Czech in addition to some local vols. It had been open only to Asian, but from 2025, it is open to all over the world!
