Hospitality Training for Disadvantaged Youths

Le Tonlé Tourism Training Center is a not-for-profit training guest house providing vocational training to disadvantaged youth from Cambodia’s north-eastern provinces of Kratie, Stung Treng, Ratanakiri, and Mondulkiri.

Established in 2007 in Steung Treng, a new training centre opened in Kratie in 2013 equipped with practical facilities including a training kitchen, classroom, a welcoming ground floor restaurant and a four bedroom traditional wooden stilt guesthouse.

There are currently 20 students at Le Tonle enrolled in the 12 months training course. The course is an amazing opportunity for disadvantaged youth in Cambodia and allows them to build a better life for them and their family.

CHAMPA’S STORY

“My name is Champa. I am 18 years old. I was born in the Kralapheas village, in Stung Treng. There are six us. I have three brothers and three sisters. My father’s name is Vann, my mother’s Sean. They are rice farmers. I stopped learning fifteen years ago, was in 9th grade. My family did not have enough money for me to continue, to support me. My home is far from our school. We had to pay a lot for me to get there. However, I liked learning, when I did. My favorite subjects were social studies. After I left school, I decided to help my family’s work. I was work in the fields with my parents. Then I was depressed. I worked with my mother, sowing rice in the fields. We were out one day and it started to rain, the sky just opened. We couldn’t work. We went in, instead, and we listened to the radio. There was an advertisement on, about Le Tonle, about this school. I was excited. I thought I could finally learn what I needed and wanted. I registered, and waited a month. Then they called me and told me I’d passed.
