Laos has been struggling to recover from the devastation of the Vietnam War for decades, but many organizations are finally jumping on board to help get the country back on its feet. Its rich culture, affordable costs and beautiful scenery draw millions of visitors each year, so why not take the opportunity to visit and rebuild at the same time?
Go Abroad is offering a construction and renovation project in Laos for those wishing to see the country while also lending a helping hand. While there you’ll help build new medical centers, schools and childcare centers in the community that are desperately needed. The projects are all pretty hands-on and range in scope from painting and landscaping to carpentry and complete renovations. If you have experience with a hammer they’ll find something for you to do.
On your down time, you’re free to explore a country teeming with diverse wildlife, rainforests, mountain vistas and epic adventures for extremely low rates. You’ll make friends with the locals and learn about history and their effort to rebuild from the ashes of war. It’s a great opportunity to help those in need while gaining a new experience to share with your friends.
