HOPE currently support a series of projects taking place in and around Siem Reap in Northwestern Cambodia. In addition HOPE support individuals in further education and life opportunities.
Sin Lita has just graduated from Paul Dubrule hotel school in Siem Reap and has been recruited at one of the town’s newest boutique hotels, Soria Moria. Since studying at Paul Dubrule Lita has been training at a small guesthouse learning the tricks of the trade and improving his English with guests. Now he has graduated from the Young Adult Program at Sangkheum Center for Children he has full time employment and the opportunity to improve his studies further. By finding local employment he can still visit the center regularly and see his brothers who he is very close to and help in their development and football training!
HOPE has financially supported Lita since leaving the center. This support has included his hospitality training at Paul Dubrule Hotel School, accommodation, transport (bicycle) and food.
Ton Pin, 18 years old, is working as a seller at the Angkor Night Market, on the silk Lab Stall. With limited language skills he attended free English classes at Sangkheum Center for Children a year ago. Now he conveys in English, not only to English, Australian and American tourists, but Japanese, Chinese and Koreans, too. His enthusiasm in class, and winning smile, awarded him a HOPE scholarship at the best English school in town and attends class four days a week. His aspiration now is to go to university and study tourism and become a fully qualified guide at the Angkor Wat archaeological park one day.
His monthly wage supports his family, including younger siblings who go to school and his old widowed Father with food and general living costs.
