Following the tradition “the good leaves protect the worn out leaves” annually held by Mai Chau Ecolodge coordinated with Asiatica Foundation, in January 2015, MCE will organize a volunteer trip in Na Nieng Hamlet, Le Loi Commune, Cao Bang Province.
Located about 260 km from Hanoi, Na Nieng Hamlet is the residence of 68 Tay and Nung households, of which 30 households in the area of difficult conditions. People here live mainly based on cultivation, growing maize and collecting firewood. The lives of people here are extremely poor in both physical and mental aspects.

With the activity named "Village of cheerful laughter", as a member of the Foundation Asiatica, the voluntary team of MCE not only wants to share with people here the warm coats and fragrant rice but also has the opportunity to share the joy through public cinema activities. Although our small behaviors will not help people quickly reduce the difficulties in their daily life, we hope to bring people warm laughter in the cold winter days.
