Month: March 2026

On March 6, 2026, the newly constructed Vern Khane Primary School in Mounlapamok District, Champasak Province in Laos, was officially inaugurated. After several months of construction, the school building was formally handed over to the local community and the students.

The Tarek Mamisch Foundation funded the construction of a new school building with five fully equipped classrooms and four toilet facilities, providing a safe and child-friendly learning environment for the children of Vern Khane. In total, 269 students benefit from the improved infrastructure.

Tarek Mamisch attended the opening ceremony in person and joined representatives of the local community, the school and our project partner Child’s Dream Association for the celebration. The event included traditional ceremonies, speeches and joyful moments shared with the students.

We would like to thank our partner Child’s Dream Association, the local community and everyone involved in bringing this project to life. Together, we have created a place that will provide children with access to education and new opportunities for the future.

Although school operations at the Mamisch Primary School already began on November 14, 2025, the official opening ceremony of the school has now taken place in Svay Leu.

Together with local community representatives, teachers and many children, this special moment was celebrated on site. Our foundation’s founder, Tarek Mamisch, was also present to officially inaugurate the school together with our local partners, especially Chantha, and to see the progress of the project firsthand.

Today, 22 children attend preschool classes each morning. In the afternoons, English lessons are held for around 90 children of different ages, divided into three groups.

The opening of the Mamisch Primary School was also covered by local and national news outlets. In addition, a local newspaper published an article about the new school and its importance for the community in Svay Leu: https://khemaradaily.com/p/326913

A special thanks goes to Chantha, who has supported the project from the very beginning and continues to work locally through his own organization to support educational and community initiatives in the region.
