Double Horizon English School
Double Horizon English School is a free English school located on Don Deng Island, a small and peaceful island in the middle of the Mekong River, in Champassak Province, southern Laos. The project was created through a partnership between NK SEEDS and Double Horizon, a French NGO that has been active in Laos since 1992, working in the fields of education and international solidarity. The school offers free English lessons to local children and teenagers five times a week, welcoming around 50 students divided into 2 classes. Classes are taught by a local teacher trained in communicative methods, assisted by international volunteers who share their knowledge and promote cultural exchange.
