The PATA Foundation and Capilano University have partnered for a second time in an effort to deliver tourism training to two villages – Taphin and Lao Chai - in the Sapa region of Northern Vietnam.
In August 2012, a new two-year project built off a previous two-year project from 2010 that saw Capilano University volunteer faculty, students, and alumni working with Hanoi Open University faculty and students on programs that built and strengthened the capacity of the local ethnic minorities, small business owners, village government, and communities as a whole.
