Big Brother Mouse



Big Brother Mouse is a great Community Literacy Project based in Luang Prabang, it is run by Sascha, and a team of local young people, many are students in the city.

Earlier in the year we had made a donation to the organisation to fund a book party, and were fortunate to be in Luang at an appropriate time to go on a Book PArty. We dived into the mini bus with a group of Luang young people, all studying to be teachers. The book party provided a great opportunity for them to develop their skills as well as providing much needed books to the local schools .

We had a great morning in the school and it was great to see the children enjoy choosing their book, possibly the first book they have ever owned! We shared the day with Hamish Dougal form vermont>

Big Brother Mouse sells their books in the Night Market and a great way of supporting the local community on a lot of levels, books for schools, experience for the education students,
