  GET INVOLVED: LAOS VOLUNTEER

  

  Written November 2012

  An excellent way to combine a holiday in a beautiful country with some valuable charity work that makes a real difference to the local people.

  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  Giving the children at Vang Vieng elimentary school their first ever PE lesson. It was absolute mayhem! But also a very rewarding experience.

  What did you think of your group leader?

  Excellent. The exodus employee clearly cared deeply about the charity aspect of the trip, and we also had a local guide who was able to give us insight into the culture of each place we visited (and also acted as a handy translator too!). So the two worked very well together.

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  Don't go on this trip if you're looking for a relaxing holiday. Whilst none of it (even the manual labour at the village) was particularly exhausting, there was a fair amount of travelling from place to place throughout the trip, which meant being constantly on the go and a few early starts.

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

  Whilst the indirect flights included in the trip were perfectly fine (no delays and a good airline), they did add a fair amount of travelling time to the holiday. With hindsight I probably would have preferred to book my own flights separately and pay a bit extra to have direct flights. But I suppose that's just personal preference. All in all, a great holiday and definitely the sort of trip I would book again.
