LEOT LOVES OUR TOWN
LEOT teacher Mai is leading a campaign to encourage everyone to love Luang Prabang and improve the environment of World Heritage Town of Luang Prabang

Rubbish on the Khan River Bank
Mai is a graduate in Environmental Management and studied as a LEOT scholarship student at the National University. Today she works in the Luang Prabang refuse department and is also a part time teacher at the LEOT English School.
MAI and LEOT are working together to encourage members of our community to love the town and clean up the dirty areas.
Over the last few weeks teams of students have scoured the town every weekend to pick up the litter and clear the river banks.
Sadly we are not solving the problem as most rubbish is thrown on the ground as we do not have enough bins in the town.
Education is also a problem and few people see it as a problem and are not prepared to take their rubbish home for disposal.
We don't plan to stop the collections.
We are being joined by other groups at the end of the month to help us clear more rubbish and make the towns rivers and streets as beautiful as the fine temples.
The Message of We Love Luang Prabang is being developed with new ideas.
We have started a We Love Luang Prabang Facebook page and have reached over 20,000 people this week
Mai has made a broadcast on Radio Luang Prabang to spread the word and encourage others to join the project
