Don Bosco at Cambodian EXPO 2005

 

PHNOM PEN: 1st April 2005 -- Invited to the first Cambodian Expo and Export 2005 by the Ministry of Commerce, Don Bosco Technical School put up an “expo booth” to show visitors what Don Bosco can produce and serve. Our aim was, therefore, to promote Don Bosco products and service.

    EXPO 2005 was held at the famous Cambodiana Hotel’s Ballroom and the swimming pool area to cool off the summer heat of March 24-27, 2005. The EXPO, a brainchild of His Excellency Sok Siphana, the secretary of state of the Ministry of Commerce was himself at the entrance of the event to greet the visitors and tell them about his vision.

    With TV cameras on, he interviewed the Rector of the Don Bosco Technical School about what Don Bosco does for Cambodia with, by and for Cambodian youth. “We want to let the private and public investors know what Cambodian youth can do for Cambodia and the world” says Fr. Leo Ochoa.

    The secretary of state was especially impressed by the manpower skills training projects with Don Bosco Technical Schools and Vocational Skills Training Centres. He was even more enthusiastic when informed that Don Bosco was exporting “mechanical gadgets” for a French company and that Don Bosco past pupils are even being hired as “skilled workers” in foreign countries.

    Varied services offered by the Printing Press Department were an eye-opener to many potential markets and a capital to our sustainability development program.

    EXPO 2005 made Don Bosco more visible to the government, economic donor partners and local business people. In a country that imports far more that it exports, this Expo and Export 2005 was a major success for Don Bosco. With Don Bosco, there is an overall need to find ways and means to drive the economy forward.
