For almost 46 years World Vision has been working in Laos, and part of the organizational strategy is to, “Listen to the voice of children in all we do“ as well as promote child participation in our programs. To achieve this goal, World Vision celebrated its second annual Child Forum. The children spoke about their hopes in order to see sustainable development in their villages.

Amelia F Merrick, National Director of World Vision Lao said at the event, “As one Lao expert on child development work in Laos said, To shape the future, youth need to be part of the planning of the present, I couldn’t agree more!”
