Returning to Laos in early April, CKC had the opportunity to work in Champasak and Salavan, located in the South of Lao PDR. Our team of 11 Vietnamese and Laotian members conducted social research in 12 communities in three districts of these two provinces.
With the “co-working” philosophy, CKC continues to collaborate with Laotian surveyors who have accompanied CKC since the first trip to Laos and continuously supported us to come closer to communities and deeply learn about their cultural, religious, and community values, especially the Phu Thai and Ta Oy ethnic communities.
