ELIC sent a pioneering team of three teachers into Laos, also known as Lao PDR, in 1996 at the invitation of the Ministry of Finance in Vientiane. And now, just a few years later, our English teaching teams are an integral part of the university campus education programs. Each year new North American individuals take the initiative to give of themselves to the people of Laos. You can participate in shaping the future of this country--through educational excellence and through the hope and joy that your life models.
