I have been in touch with Don Bosco Kep since its revival a couple of years ago. As a Guest House we give quite a few students (front-desk and housekeeping) the opportunity to learn the practical aspects of their studies for a few months at our resort (Kep Lodge). Like this we hope the students are better prepared after their degree with a practical training .
Me personally I worked as a volunteer last year as an IT teacher @ Don Bosco and explained the students more about the World Wide Web and its structure. A smaller team helped me in 2012 to finish the website www.visitkep.com as a practical exercise in composing English sentences and learning how to work with an online database.
The school has grown significantly in the last few years and it is a pleasure to see how many poor students are benefiting from the Don Bosco school and so they can get a better job and therefore a better live than their parents!
