Scholarships and Teacher Training in Laos


Thanks to donations through the GVI Charitable Trust two Novice Monks have been sponsored for one years English classes at the Mekong English Centre. To select the Novices a meeting was held with the Abbot (Head Monk) of the temple who choose the beneficiaries. He chose wisely and the two Novices have been attending classes daily.

We are also going to be funding up to 10 Lao men and women to take part in the Teacher Training Program through the MEC which has a commitment to training Lao Nationals. Over the 6 month training program participants receive a wage and upon completion teachers are guaranteed a job for 2 years.
