SAILers practicing singing "Champa Muang Lao" with their language teachers at the Lao-American College.

On July 12th I visited our SAILers during their Lao language class. I got a chance to observe the instructor’s teaching techniques and their interactions with the students. After class I spent one on one time with each instructor by giving them the opportunity to evaluate each student and also for me to share with them the students’ feedbacks. The professors genuinely wanted what’s best for the students and that they were willing to follow recommendations for improvement. As the SAIL program progress I cannot help but feel that it will only get better with each year.

In the evening I had a one on one meeting with each SAILer. It was an opportunity for them to give feedback about the SAIL program. There were a few minor suggestions here and there, but overall the SAILers were satisfied with their overall experience and were enjoying their stay in Laos.
