Sabaidee! We wish to introduce to you Mr. Stephane, our new French language teacher. 5 years ago he taught at our school, including managing the school when the Director was on her Maternity leave. He knows our staff and our philosophy of education very well. 

He divides his time between Vientiane and Paris. Please say hello when you see him!

Ruth and Alex spent 2 weeks volunteering with our project. The children loved playing games, playing in the sand and reading stories with them. This is their introduction. 
My name is Ruth. I'm German and 23 years old. I usually live in Berlin, where I study "landscape using and nature protection". I love being with children. When I was still a teenager, I started to do babysitter-jobs  and after I finished school I worked six month as an au pair in Paris, where I took care of two children (5 and 7 years old). I also worked three month as a nanny for a one-year-old boy. One month ago, I left Germany to join my boyfriend on his journey through Asia.

I'm Alexander and 25 years old. I'm from Germany and just finished my bachelor in "industrial engineering". I'm travelling through Asia since February this year and will do my master next year. After seven month on the road it's nice to settle down for a few days and get to know the local culture. As I went to a Waldorf kindergarten and Waldorf school in Berlin, Tukata kindergarten seems like a perfect opportunity to help out and get a new perspective on Rudolf Steiners education system. 

All children age 2-6 welcome! (for both enrolled & outside students)

Learn English by play! Let’s read stories, sing songs, make craft and art activities and play in our garden. Lessons will be taught by Kelly, Director of Tukata. (A native English speaker from NY,USA)  We provide supervised care and fun English lessons from 9:00am until 11am.

Light healthy snack and fruit juice provided.

Monthly – 500,000 / Per Session – 150,000
Please inquire with our staff for more information!

These are some photos from school in Ban Sop Bao village that we will be supporting in Xam Neua. Sure, it is easy took be shocked by the condition, but as a teacher, I see alot of love in this school. The teachers have taken the time and effort to decorate to make beautiful, it is actually very clean. Just because something is not new and shiny doesn't mean it's no good. The love the teachers have shown their students and school building is a big reason we want to help them with supplies and training. ‪#‎lovelaos‬ ‪#‎tukata‬ We will be collecting supplies over the next few months along with cash donations. We will be making a delivery for the new school year. Please contact us at tukatavientiane@gmail.com for more info or to help!
