Teaching in Laos

Sometimes a small change just isn't enough and so - occasionally - I will bring you the story of somebody who did something radical. All her life Jutta wanted to teach and part of her professional career was spent on doing just that. Her other passion is traveling. During a trip to Laos she spoke with many of the local people and found out how eager they are to learn English. After returning home she found out that she had been laid off from her job and everything fell into place for her. She sublet her apartment, packed a suitcase and booked flights to Luang Prabang, where she had spent some time during her travels. What was meant to be a few months working and living in Laos turned into four and a half years during which Jutta taught at the local temples and started a girls only English class in her home.
