The MITTAPHAP project, which includes a restaurant and guesthouse, aims to create jobs and offer quality training. We focus on building skills through hands-on work in areas like education, accounting, and entrepreneurship.
Our team includes both Lao and international staff who manage volunteers, lead educational programs, and support daily operations. Everyone works across departments to gain practical experience.
We strongly believe in involving the local community—not just as workers or students, but as leaders and decision-makers. Everyone on the team helps shape the direction of the project.
In the future, we plan to grow by supporting local income opportunities, such as handmade crafts, a student-run market, and promoting natural local products to increase self-reliance.
Initially volunteering at Sae Lao during college, Peter has now been serving as director since 2019. Peter manages the whole team at just 26 years of age and has helped relaunch the site and now serves as the key link with local authorities—while also making volunteers feel welcome and valued.
Tui joined in October 2023, starting in the restaurant before becoming Assistant Coordinator. He manages all things volunteer—welcoming, supporting, and ensuring they enjoy their time. Tui is deeply valued for his dedication, passion, and kindness.
Memai is our wonderful chef of our restaurant. She prepares lunch for the volunteers each day and serves restaurant guests delicious dishes and drinks!
