Big Brother Mouse

Logo Big Brother Mouse, the Lao literacy program

We work closely with Big Brother Mouse, a Lao-owned, Lao-based program created to get books into rural Lao schools and villages. In addition to publishing books, Big Brother Mouse creates and operates schools which emphasize a more active approach to learning. Big Brother Mouse is a separate organization. To see more about their activities, which we support, please go to Big Brother Mouse.

Please send all inquiries about Big Brother Mouse directly to Big Brother Mouse, not to us. We are in the United States and are not involved in day-to-day operations and scheduling of Big Brother Mouse.
