Affairs and International Cooperation, MOU,
Number 783 10/MFA.aC, May 21, 2009
The Don Bosco Foundation of Cambodia is developing the Don Bosco Vocational
Center in Kep City, south of Cambodia, to support the technical formation of young
people from the provinces of Kep, Kompot and Takeo, a rural area with high levels of
poverty and the lack of opportunities for the youth.
DBFC, based in the Kingdom since 1991 as a national and international organization to support children and young people from poverty by giving the opportunity to study, opened a school in Kep in 2002 for disadvantage young women of the region in the skill of sewing. The natural beauty of the place between the sea and the hills of the Kep National Park, makes also the place a great center of meetings and retreats.

Kep Province is just at the Vietnamese border and the provinces of Kampot and Takeo, a rural region dedicated to grow rice, cattle, fish and mining, but with very low incomes per family and very limited options for job and education. Every year, young people from these two provinces travel to Phnom Penh or Sihanoukville to look for better opportunities like studies or employment. This reality inspires the purpose to develop the Don Bosco school in Kep City as a vocational center for the attention of young people from the provinces of Kep, Kampot and Takeo specially. From the many areas of technical education that modern Cambodia requires for its development and its war on poverty, DBFC chose in Kep to concentrate in intellectual skills like social communication, IT, secretariat, eco-tourism, housekeeping, front-office and art. The school opened in October 2011 with a first section of social communication (journalism, computers, English, audiovisual and web development,) and hotel skills (front office and housekeeping.) The first group of students - 17 young women and 23 young men - was chosen at the Don Bosco Technical School of Sihanoukville on August 2011 from rural families and orphanages of Kompot, Takeo and Kep. Please follow this link in Khmer and this link in English for more information.
Please help children and young people to get education. This is the best way to fight poverty in a country like Cambodia.
Donate to projects like the Don Bosco Vocational Center of Kep.

Brief description of DBFC history and Don Bosco Kep
DBFC began in the Khmer refugee camps in the 1980's creating six technical schools
for children and youth of the refugees.
In 1991 it was invited by the Cambodian government to open a technical school in
Phnom Penh.
In 1993 Fr. John Visser was delegated as country representative. He created the Don
Bosco Children Fund (DBCF) to guarantee basic education for the most unprivileged
children.
DBFC helped in the rebuilding of schools. It got some land in Battambang, Poipet,
Sihanoukville and Kep for future educational development in favor of unprivileged youth.
In 1997 DBFC opened the technical school of Sihanoukville.
In 2001 it started the construction of a children shelter in Poipet for victims of human
traffic.
Fr. John Visser and Brother Roberto Panetto were awarded with the Servitor Pacis (UN-
Vatican, 1995).
Two literacy centers were developed in Battambang.

With the support of the USAID and the Salesian office of New Rochelle, DBCF worked
in a food program implementation for the schools of Banteay Meanchey since 2003 to
2006.
In February 2007 King Norodom Sihamoni visited the Don Bosco Technical School of
Sihanoukville and inaugurated the Don Bosco Hotel School. He expressed a great
appreciation of the Cambodian people to the contributions of Don Bosco for the
education of the poorest.
In October 2007 the porgram of social communication (IT, audiovisual and journalism)
was opened by Fr. Albeiro Rodas in Sihanoukville with the purpose of create
communicators for the development of their society.
On May 9, 2009, the audiovisual studies were destroyed by a fire initiated by a lighting
in the Sihanoukville campus. Support from Dutch donors allowed the reconstruction. In
May 2011 the Salesian community of Sihanoukville decided that it was the time to
develop Don Bosco Kep, since 50% of students in Don Bosco Sihanoukville come from
Kep, Kompot and Takew, a rural and impoverished area where children and young
people have very limited resources.
The plan is to develop social communication, secretarial, housekeeping and front office
sections, a short course in automotive for young people with low education and a
possible fine and representative arts section for the future. As the school is inside a
National Park, ecology promotion is taking also into consideration.
Mission and Vision of Don Bosco in Cambodia
The mission of the Don Bosco Foundation of Cambodia is to train orphans and poor youth in skills they can use to get a job and, by their work, they can come out of the circle of poverty and contribute to the development of their country and society. It is done through the implementation of the Don Bosco Salesian Preventive System, having preference for young people from rural areas and vulnerable communities (women, families affected by HIV and human traffic victims.) The main projects consist in the creation of technical schools, offering free education in skills that are currently needed by the growing Cambodian economy (secretarial, printing, automotive, industrial mechanic, welding, hotel & tourism management, IT, audiovisual edition & production and electricity & electronics.) Young people must have at least 9th grade and they must come from real unprivileged, vulnerable communities or orphanages (interviews, social work visits and NGO's references are taken into consideration to guarantee this condition in the selection of students.)

The students (males & females) do their technical formation in four semesters and receive an associate degree certification approved by the Royal Ministry of Education. To support also the formation of younger generations (children aged 6-15), DBFC created also the Don Bosco Children Fund to sponsor children from unprivileged communities, children at risk of abuse or human traffic and orphans to continue their basic education.

Summary of the project of the school expansion
Construction of the social comm. & secretarial sections, male teachers hostel & the
implementation of solar panels to develop Don Bosco Kep as a technical centre of
education for rural, unprivileged and orphan youth from Kep, Kompot and Takeo
provinces to guarantee that they get a skill and best opportunities to participate in the

growing Cambodian economy and development of their society and the improvement of
their living conditions.
Kep, Kompot and Takew provinces (south of Phnom Penh) made a rural region with
limited technical or professional education facilities for their growing young population.
Many come to Don Bosco Sihanoukville that has a 800 students capacity, too many
cannot be elected, so they lost opportunities.
Young people have to look opportunities in Phnom Penh, without skills, they have to join
garment factories or low income positions, but also underground activities like
prostitution and drugs.
Developing Don Bosco Kep is a strategic decision to open opportunities to this
impoverished region. We know the region through our activities in Don Bosco Children
Fund and our current students in Sihanoukville and Phnom Penh, social work visits and
team work with other organizations.
Don Bosco Kep will be the first free education technical school in the region (Kep,
Kompot & Takeo provinces) offered to young people from rural poor communities,
unprivileged families, orphans and young people at risk.
40 students (16 girls) will benefit in 2011 (social communication, housekeeping &
tailoring and front office); 120 students (60 girls) are estimated by 2012 (adding
automotive short course and secretarial); 180 students (90 girls) are estimated by 2013
(adding fine and representative arts). There are also Computer and English informal
courses in the evening for 100 children and young people from Kep Province.
Goals
1. Giving technical skills to poor young people from Kep, Kompot and Takeo provinces,
which need support to continue their formation.
2. Preparing young people from poor communities to join the current Cambodian
development and its work force need.
3. Forming young people in social values to contribute to their country not only in
technical skills but also in values like honesty, solidarity, ecology protection and culture.
4. Following Don Bosco Kep past pupils to support their development and their
contribution to their own nation.
5. Improving the living standard of Cambodians.

Strategies
1. Following a permanent formation of the teachers.
2. Creating the Don Bosco Kep past pupils' association, so they can continue in
contact with the school in order to evaluate their improvement and compromise
them with the support to other young people from poverty.
3. Creating nets of communication through media like the Internet.
4. Doing regular evaluations of the different programs at the school with the
participation of teachers, students, families and other organizations.
