First visit Big Bother Mouse, a locally run project committed to changing this by publishing books that help to make it fun and easy to learn to read. They rely on visitors to help them distribute them. Few books are available in Laos and they rarely reach the rural villages such as the one you will visit today. Ken will then take you to his hometown, Ban Padaeng village, about 1.5 hour drive from Luang Prabang and well off the tourist trail. After a brief stop at Ken’s family house, continue to the nearby village of Ban Thapho, where you visit Ken’s old primary school, which is constructed from Bamboo. Here, you have an opportunity to meet some of the teachers and learn about the school life at such a rural destination.

Following lunch, you will participate in a baci, a traditional ceremony, led by a village-elder, which involves gently tying cotton cords around your wrists, symbolizing friendship, good health and a good luck on your journey ahead.

Saa Paper Making: Cross the old bridge and walk to the Porsaa Learning centre for a half day Saa Papermaking workshop. Traditional saa paper is made from the mulberry bark cut and pounded into small pieces. After being soaked in water, they are boiled and then soaked in alkaline, then rinsed and beaten with a wooden mallet. The fibrous pulp is put into water then stirred and sieved at the bottom of which a piece of silk is stretched. The Saa paper pulp will be sun dried to the sieve material before being processed into traditional saa paper.
