In Laos, despite the recent introduction of a 9-year compulsory education, many children are unable to attend school because their families are too impoverished to afford the necessities. Sounita Phimmasone, who works as a news anchor, experienced this hard way of life firsthand in her youth. It motivated her to found Kids' House, a weekend school located in the capital of Vientiane, providing classes in a variety of subjects such as art, dance and literature. In this episode, we visit Kids' House, where Sounita is bringing a future to the disadvantaged children of Laos.
