Happy New Year everyone!

Every now and again we are asked if volunteers can come and assist us here on the ground in Laos. I look forward to the day when I can say YES. We are working to have our training center up, running, and able to host volunteers but it will be a while before this is complete.

In the meanwhile I would like to recommend the Vang Vieng Organic Farm as a great place to stay and volunteer for a while. I have been there dozens of times and have really enjoyed working on their mudbrick house building projects. Anyone who enjoys cooking might be glad to hear that they have just completed the kitchen of Peter’s mud house. It now has an earth PIZZA OVEN!. The video above was taken a few years ago when they were first making the bulk of the mudbricks.
