Our Goal is to promote the sustainable bamboo plant and the meaning of this giant grass, bamboo can be a good alternative of wood consumption and the benefit of the environment because it's growing so quickly and easy generation species. It's been very essential to Lao people for centuries about food, art, handicraft and many more. We help travelers to be connected closely with the villagers from Ban Nasang to learn and experience their way of life.
