We are proud to report that our eldest male resident, Rotha, 16, has received a vocational skills sponsorship in website design thanks to Arocore. With the help of a local non-governmental organization (NGO), New Future for Children, Rotha was accepted into the program taught at Bartouk Computer Professional Center. Rotha will learn HTML programming before graduating to PHP, a web development tool. Being computer savvy, this program is ideal for Rotha who had already programmed six computer games on his XO laptop. Computer programming and web development is a coveted skill within the Cambodian job market and will give Rotha expanded career opportunities in a field he loves.
As with Rotha, Aziza’s Place is working to pair our older students with vocational training programs and internships based on their interests and abilities. Resource sharing is extremely helpful in Phnom Penh which is home to hundreds of NGOs specializing in human development. We hope to find vocational training opportunities for at least two more students before the end of this year.
