@ My Library

We all need to find out more about @ My Library.  It has such a great feel.  

Check out the website:    http://www.thelanguageproject.org/

If you want to donate to something worthwhile, this could be it.

Set up and run by a lovely American, Carol, this is a place where young Lao people can come to  learn English.  But it's much more than learning English. You can follow your interests, be it science  experiments, learning to make videos, doing challenging puzzles, research on the net or much more.

Downstairs has many computers, mostly connected to the internet.  People can play educational games or do learning on line, they can listen to English being spoken.

8.30 - 9.30 am is when Carol and Ly Ly run an English class.  There are anything between about 12 and 24 students of different levels.  There is very sound learning going on here, but it is so much fun.  And the students are eager, they don't muck around in class.  Students are mainly boys, including 7 or more novice monks.

Currently it is school holidays in Lao, so the numbers average 100 students a day.  When school goes back, the numbers are closer to 80.

Have a look at @My Libray on You Tube.  Some of the students videos have been posted.  They are very well done for new students of media.  And you learn more about life in Laos.
