Teaching English to the local children...

Had a great day today and decided to continue hanging out with the people from our guesthouse, Kara and Pierre and walked about Luang Prabang until we got too tired and caught a boat across the River to a bar with amazing views, but more importantly cheap cocktails! But we couldn’t stay too long and drink loads as we wanted to get back for 6pm to go up to a local village just outside of town to teach English to the local children.

School class

Kara and Pierre had already done this a couple of times and we thought it would be a great opportunity to go along too and hope to make a difference, if only a little to some of the children there. It was in fact great fun and I have never seen children so excited about going to school! When some of the younger girls saw us pass in the back of our tuk tuk, they all shouted after us and started running to school! Complete contrast to how I remember my feelings about school!

Teaching the local kids

We revised the alphabet with them, something they had learnt previously, colours and how to spell them and some group games, great fun and very rewarding!
