VIENTIANE: A German family recently enjoyed a wonderful trip in Laos, including taking part in events organised by a reading project run by the non-profit organisation Reading Elephant Laos, which provided many educational and interesting activities both for themselves and for local children.

The German couple and their two sons aged 9 and 12 spent three weeks in Laos, with the aim of educating themselves about life in a developing country.
