Update on Progress of the Cambodian Children’s House of Peace
Project “Help our Disadvantaged Youths”
September – November 2013
VOCATIONAL TRAINING
1. Motor mechanics
The Cambodian Children’s House of Peace is continuing to make great progress on reintegrating our disadvantaged youths into the community and workforce. We are happy and excited to let you know that one of our youths has started vocational training at an NGO called Khmer for Khmer (KKO). He is so happy working with his new friends in that organization. We want all of our children who will leave the organization with a specific skill to live independently and have better living conditions – besides general knowledge and cultural education, vocational training is one of our missions aimed for our children who turn eighteen and have no intention to go on their education at college or university.
2. Course in bakery
The youth girls who successfully passed their vocational school entrance exams now started their course in bakery at Ecole Paul DuBrule, a highly reputed local school, on the 2nd September. Soon they will earn their own money and live on their own. Every child here has the same chance as these youth girls receive, either to pursue higher education or to gain skills for attaining a stable job in the future. We believe that only education, knowledge, and morality will break down the poverty cycle which has been passed down from generations.
