Chinese students training (French service, bar,

2016: Volunteering at PSE

(Pour un Sourire ), NGO in Cambodia and at Poussieres

Vietnam

During my journeys in China, Cambodia and Vietnam, I had the great chance to transmit my knowledge and passion to students from diverse origins and that did not have the chance that we have in Europe to get great schooling and supporting parents.

PSE: Pour

un Sourire

Founded in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, by Marie -France and Christian Des Pallieres, PSE started from simply giving food to kids on a dump site to giving

them real education and professional schooling.

My Journey

I had the chance to assist M. Alain Darc into the training of the hospitality and food service

students. I was supervising the school-restaurant. My main challenge there was to transmit the

passion that animates me as for the students there, working in hospitality is more seen as a need than

a passion.

Poussières

de Vie

PdV is an NGO helping kids from the street of Ho -Chi-Minh and from the tribes of Kon Tum by providing them

school, work opportunity and by helping the local communities, in the orphanages for example.

My Journey

I had the chance to participate in the training of the hospitality students by giving them classes and practical lessons at the hospitality school created by the NGO in Kon Tum. I also had the

chance to help the other volunteers in the orphanages.

colleagues), my experiences in 2 NGOs have been really remarkable for its human dimension: everyone has a chance of succeeding in life and its

great to see that Hospitality can be one of the step to life successes in growing country such as in South -East Asia.
