Mr. Sokchea SAING brought the Attitude Forum to the new staff

In the first weekend of August, the 8th and 9th, the Attitude Centre for Education has been providing the Attitude Forum for 32 participants. There was a lot of interesting information in this forum. There were two amazing stories about Pheap and Synat’s family after completing the forum.

After finishing the funeral, Pheap has now returned to work. On that weekend, ACE invited Pheap and her daughter Samphours to join the Attitude Forum. They have changed and greatly improved their family since the forum and are starting new things in their lives.

The desire to participate in the Attitude Forum was for releasing her sadness and training to be strong and confident, an independent woman. Pheap was so worried about her life and her children’s after her husband passed away.

Cambodian Kids Foundation has been helping her to stand up and solve all those problems. We pay her housing costs, electricity, water and food. In addition, we have set up a new kindergarten called Cambodian Kids Care for her youngest child. We always follow up with the kids and Pheap’s family every week.

“I was very delighted after taking two days of training. I want to be strong, to be a good mom and hopeful. I won’t use violence anymore, and I have learned what I should do and not do. I feel fortunate to study this course,” said Pheap. Pheap’s been putting the knowledge into practice.

We also invited a couple of A Start Business workers: Synat and Peng.

Although hesitant at first because they had only finished school to grades 2 and 5, once the staff explained how the seminar was run they were happy to join. Though only two days long, they seemed to gain a key to open their minds. They understand now about their lives and social life. However, the best effect they felt was on their youngest daughter Sreyneang as she now realizes more what her parents work for in life and what they have offered her.

“I would like to continue my studies again. When I have low education it’s hard for me to help other people, especially the kids. I do not want to see the new generation have a low education like me,” said Peng.

They are very grateful for all the assistance the Cambodian Kids Foundation has given Pheap, Synat and her husband, for their training and encouragement.

Tevin also participated in the Attitude Forum at ACE. The forum was very useful for Tevin as before she was feeling lonely and was angered easily. Now she is open-minded and plans before acting.
