A Project is born

LEOT was born in 2006 as the result of a chance meeting of a monk and a UK tourist.
Alan Shiel was the tourist and the founder of LEOT.
The charity sponsors the education of disadvantaged young people in Laos.
Today we assist over twenty students studying subjects ranging from Business Studies to Dentistry and Plumbing to Environmental Studies.
Typically it was Chair Alan who first mentioned the number of our students who studied English as a second language in addition to their core subject.
It was early in 2010 he floated the idea of The LEOT English Language Centre.
The idea started small with the vision of a small School in a rented building.

LEOT English Language Centre

Like all good ideas the vision grew to include the building of a school with three classrooms and a study centre.

Room Layout plan

By the start of 2011 plans were commissioned and the project was under way.
All we now needed was permission from The Laos Government, the funds to build and a builder to complete the work
