IndieWomanMag; focus on the accomplishments of inspiring and creative women worldwide

IndieWomanMag is created and run by two free-spirited and socially aware women who share the same values on friendship and what it means to live by creating, exploring, sharing, and and empowering.

IndieWomanMag aims to focus on the accomplishments of inspiring and creative women worldwide, who think or live outside the box and challenge our perception of what it means to be successful and fabulous. They are admirable women who often defy the odds or challenge social and cultural limitations to become a success in their own life and an inspiration to others – by fighting for a cause, promoting awareness, or just simply living a more spiritually driven and fulfilling life. These women embrace their own coming of age and their own unique scope in the world, always following their intuition and staying true to their vision. Age, status, or physical appearance are of little importance.

IndieWomanMag is for the woman who embraces her passions, stands in her own power, and seeks to live a fuller, more meaningful and cause driven life being exactly who she is. Enjoy and be inspired!

New education material for students

ASIAED supports Prachumporn Pakse Education Resource Centre, Laos

The Prachumporn Pakse Education Resource Centre supports 3 primary and secondary schools in the area. In Pakse there is a teachers training college which I am contacting and hope to work further in sustainable curriculum development, and support their efforts.
Miss Pisamai teaches the primary school of three grades for over 30 students. She has very little resources and relies entirely on the government for her teaching material. The methodology of the Pho Sai Education Resource Centre also applies here, 'Teach the Teachers’, work with end-users on the local level.

For photos please see:
Please see Prachumporn Pakse album for more photos

Here are details regarding: Prachumporn Pakse Education Center

ASIAED establised Educational Resource Centres in Pho Sai


Both Ajarn Pim (right) and Ajarn Sathit (left) will meet and train teachers in English to start. This ‘Teach the Teachers’ seems to be a practical approach due to ASIAED’s limited financial resources, and the vastness of the region. At present it is not logical to try and bring interested and participating individuals including targeted end-users to an office environment, but rather 'bring the office to them.' These people (students too) are busy, have limited funds for transportation, and primarily need to stay close to their communities due to their commitments.

Ms Ganta Boontos (center) will conduct community gatherings where business management, education for all and human rights will be discussed.

ASIAED will continue to purchase educational material for Pho Sai Education Resource Centre, which will help support the primary and secondary schools in the area, of over 70 students.
