Two Laven students pose standing in front of the entrance of the Groupe Scolaire elementary school in Houei Kong (XB 6473, L-56) in Attapu Province on graduation day. The Groupe Scolaire school, the French elementary education system of grades 1 - 6, was dedicated in November 1965 with commodity and carpenter support from USAID. IVS volunteers managed the construction project. It is customary to place arches of greenery or bougainvillea over entrances on special occasions.
