Volunteer in Laos
Volunteer in Luang Prabang
As
the "Fair Trek" Project Luang Prabang is a cooperation with local authorities,
a private tour company and NGO's, we need constant support from people who have
the desire to do more than a holiday! We follow the principle of "voluntourism"
and believe that visitors to Laos could even give their support to the tourism project.
All involved partners of the project are not paid to run the project full time. For all involved parties it is a part time job and a desire. That is also why help is needed.
Volunteers
in Luang Prabang are welcome
and have proofed to be a good way to improve
the project as they bring a different point of view and non-tourism-related experiences
with them. As a volunteer you should bring very good English and other useful skills.
Work experience is definitely an advantage but no must. You should be minimum 25
years old.
We decide individually what person we could give a position. Since
we offered this volunteering position too many people come to ask. Places are extremely
limited!
Responsibilities
might include representing the project in sales office,
following tours to improve and control quality, implementing and supporting our
local team with new ideas, writing and editing work for adverts, press releases,
creating new products, public relation, email, teaching staff or villagers...and
much more...
Profits
for you
include free accommodation, free tours, at least one free meal
a day, full board on activitiy days, free mountain bike use while you stay in Luang
Prabang, a great rewarding experience, references for work with tourism related
projects...
