Thank you!
Big Sister Mouse is our new school in the countryside, on the outskirts of Luang Prabang. Children love having visitors and in this picture, they get practice with both math and English as they play the Happy Snake game. Each player gets three cards. If they can add or subtract them to get the designated goal for that road, they move their marker ahead toward the snake's head.
If you're visiting Luang Prabang, please join us for a day at Big Sister Mouse. You'll have fun while also helping both young adults and smaller children with their education. More about Volunteering.
