Join our volunteer program in Laos and make a meaningful impact on the lives of children. During this compassionate journey, you will contribute to kindergartens, rural primary schools, or assist students up to 25 years old. Your role will involve teaching English, organizing engaging activities, and embracing the opportunity to learn from the children themselves.

You will dedicate 3 to 4 hours per day at either one of the two kindergartens (ages 2 to 4) or various schools (ages 4 to 12) where we offer our support. Your responsibilities will include teaching the fundamentals of English, coordinating activities, and supporting the local staff. This experience provides a wonderful chance to immerse yourself in the local culture while making a positive difference in the community.

While we strive to follow a structured curriculum, we also emphasize informal teaching methods. You will have extra hours each week to design lessons and activities for the students. These can cover a wide range of topics, from games, sports, and music to crafts and essential life skills, all conducted in the English language.

Objectives:
- Assist understaffed teams and alleviate the workload of local staff
- Share your expertise working with children and acquire valuable skills
- Enhance children's education by fostering English language proficiency

Upon arrival, you will participate in an orientation day on Monday during your first week, providing you with valuable insights into the local environment and culture. The day will include an introductory meeting to discuss rules, expectations, health and safety guidelines, as well as lessons on Laotian lifestyle, culture, and language. Additionally, you will be given a tour of the premises and the surrounding area, including local shops and SIM card facilities.

Throughout the week, various activities will be organized to enrich your experience. Tuesday evenings offer a chance to unwind and socialize during a barbecue gathering. Wednesday nights feature movie screenings at the accommodation, while Thursdays are reserved for an enjoyable restaurant outing, where you can partake in Southeast Asia's beloved pastime: karaoke.

Laos, much like its neighboring countries Cambodia and Thailand, embraces Theravada Buddhism as its primary religion, greatly influencing Laotian culture, language, art, literature, and performing arts. This nation proudly preserves its authenticity and traditions, distinguishing itself from its rapidly modernizing and Western-influenced counterparts. Participating in this humanitarian trip to Laos provides an exceptional opportunity to contribute to a country that cherishes its heritage.

Requirements:
– Intermediate level of English required.
– Police clearance
– Vaccines: Diphtheria, Typhus, Typhoid, Hepatitis A and Anti-polio. Ask your doctor for advice on rabies vaccination and anti-malarial treatments.
We do not accept last minute reservations for programs in Laos because the personal information (passport) of the volunteers must be forwarded to our local partner at least one week before the start date of the program.
– No specific skills are required for this project as all training is provided in the field, however it is a bonus if you have experience with children/teaching
– Depending on the duration which you join the project for, you will receive between 5-10 hours of TEFL training.

Youth About Business teaches business to high school students through hosting a series of team-based Mergers and Acquisitions simulations. Over the course of a week, students will work in teams of 4-5 and assume the roles of the Executive Management of a public company to perform a M&A transaction.

The camp is an intense competition. Many students have very limited exposure to the business world, but gain a great understanding through engaging with a series of speakers, volunteers, and advisors during their camp week.

To win the competition, students must submit a written shareholder report that outlines the details of their transactions.

Reading of Shareholder Reports (Self-Paced)

Volunteers are tasked with reading and scoring shareholder reports submitted from student teams. Each student team is tasked with summarizing their proposed M&A transactions as a report to their shareholders. Volunteers are asked to read a set of reports and assign each report a score based on a grading rubric.

Students will qualify for next rounds and awards based on the quality and scoring of their reports.

Many students have very limited exposure to the business world, so students appreciate the team advisors for helping them understand these very complex cases. Each team advisor will cover a specific part of the transaction process to help demystify business and prepare students for their transactions.

The camp is both an educational opportunity and a competition for the students. Advisors act as both “paid” consultant and teachers during their experience. You should approach your role as advisor as if you are advising a client on the pros and cons of a deal.

Information Technology Session:
The IT volunteer helps a team of 4-5 students consider the implications of technology issues (staffing, systems integration, cost efficiencies, upgrades, etc.) in the merger and acquisition process. The advisor will spend the session helping teams think through the value of their IT and data.

• Company’s perceived role of technology (early adopter vs late entry)
• Reliance on IT for a competitive advantage
• Valuation of intellectual property assets
• Technical resources key to the ongoing operations
• Deal reliance on significant expense reductions based on IT synergies
• Deal reliance on merged or compatible infrastructure
