Our Impact
Hope Is Where the Heart Is
“When we visited the orphanage in Luang Prabang we talked to a lot of students about their future and their dreams. One story especially touched us and it was the one of this student, who is studying to become a primary teacher. He told us that once he graduated he would return to his tiny village and teach there. For us that is what sustainability is all about.“ -Franzisca Gartenmann
I want to use my education and help other young Laotians that have faced a similar fate like I have.
