AP Residents Inspired by AMK Bank Presentation

Nang Kinal from AMK Bank shares about his own
work experience, with the high school residents
of Aziza's Place. 

Through the AP Internship Program the eldest residents have been learning invaluable skills and know-how relevant to the working world and to their field of interest. Their perspectives have been broadened and they can visualize widened options and renewed goals for their futures. As further encouragement to build on their aspirations, the high-school aged residents were all inspired by a presentation from Nang Kinal (Head of Marketing) of Angkor Mikroheranhvatho Kampuchea (AMK) Bank. Kinal described the typical path for working in AMK bank – through internships, university studies, work promotions and experience – and illustrated how this experience is applicable to all aspirations, encouraging the AP teenagers to pursue their goals, take up opportunities to increase their skill-base and take a step-by-step approach in building up their knowledge and capabilities to fulfill their dreams.

The second part of Kinal‘s presentation encouraged the residents to think about saving. With AMK specifically directed towards working with people from low-income circumstances by providing a range of tailored micro-finance services, Kinal highlighted that everyone can save. He talked about the reward and satisfaction of saving for a purpose. The AP residents found the presentation thought-provoking, identifying some ideas they had heard before, but coming away with a fresh perspective. We are appreciative for AMK continuing to connect with Aziza’s Place in a partnership that we look forward to continuing into the future.
