Sabaidee, I am Mr Phonephet from Don Khamao. I left my island at the age of 13 to live with my uncle to continue studying at secondary school for 1 year. Whilst there I visited a temple and became interested in Buddhism. I felt that it was a good opportunity for me to have a better life as a disadvantaged person, so I decided to become a Monk Novice which enabled me to study and have a better future. I moved to Pakse for knowledge and success to help my family and develop my island. I opened a homestay on my island Don Khamao to bring tourists to the island to provide for my family. A few years later the "Don Kamhao Project" started, in which foreign volunteers visited the island to practice English with the children. This provides a better and brighter future for them. During cvid there were no visitors allowed in Laos. That’s why we worked on a new project at Don Nangloy. We built bungalows for guests and volunteers to come and visit our beautiful island. The money our guests and volunteers pay for their stay is used to cover expenses for food, water and electricity and to improve the project and the situation of the people here on the island.
