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.
