After a week holiday, MES has started its usual classes from last week. There were more students attended the classes than we expected.  By the way, we had Mr. Soulisay who was a student at MES one day and completed the last level volunteered and help the students at MES for many hours for a couple of days and he’ll continue volunteering in the futures when he’s available.

MES LAOS will have a week holiday from 13-April-2015 until 19-April-2015 and will be open as usual from 20-April-2015. Here’s some information of Lao New Year Celebrations in Luang Prabang.

We have improved color at the front and around MES by scraping old cracking paint off and repaint it. We also painted the old and new flower fences. Appreciatively thank our generous students for kindly offering some help at MES.

Many trees and flowers were planted around MES and some of them was surrounded with a  wooden fence.  We also had Simon and his girlfriend Johana help us to plant. We were lucky that it was not too hot that morning, but the ground  was very tough and there are many pebbles in it. 

MES gratefully Thank Simon for your time instructing MES students, as well as being very helpful with gardening and computers! Simon’s been volunteering at MES since Monday 23/3/2015 and will stay until Friday 4/4/2015.

Simon: “I learn as early as the seventh ?! Age of guitar music and therefore plays a very important role in my life . So I ‘ve been here for some time (of course paused while I ‘m on the road ) in a band. If you’re interested , you can find us at www.cablesalad.de . In addition, I may even yet a member of an acoustic called duo  .

I play soccer , go to yoga and am also very happy at the fresh air ( weather permitting ) . In recent years, I’ve done all sorts of sailing licenses and collect here’s my exciting experience ! Maybe Johanna and I find indeed one way or another opportunity to sail on our journey.”  To read more story of Simon in German, visit http://weltenbummler.berlin

Another special THANK to our friendly friend Jeannette who was on a holiday and carried three donated recorders  all along her trip to Luang Prabang for MES, as well as the information of Peter Andrew.  MES’s also very thankful to Peter Andrew from San Diego, California who donated 3 recorders. “We hope to see you visiting MES one day next year.”  Peter Andrew also  organises concerts in America and in Bali. www.Innerworldmusic.org.

Installing the stilts for the rubbish bins was not a big job and it was done quite quickly. We’ve installed two bins  at the garden around MES where our students can thrown their rubbish. The other one is by the road, at the front of MES where anyone could use while walking pass MES. Putting the stilts for the bins was looking good, but also to lift the bins higher from the ground and stay away from the woodworms, and usually the bins can lasts longer.

These are some photos of MES students in the evening.

Today, MES Laos has around 85 to 100  people  come to learn guitar and more than 10 Free Level Students practice every weekdays, some of them also come on weekends. Here are some photos of our afternoon students.
