PKH Aoral, Cambodia - Sorting Library Books, Tools & Clothings

In April 2013, we stay at PKH, Aoral, Cambodia Mission House and help to sort out the library books and data entry the details of each books into the database.

Next, we help to sort out all the donated tools shipped from Singapore to Aoral and ensure all the items are accounted. A photo of each item are taken for reference.

We also help to sort out all the donated clothings and pack them into boxes which are later given to the poor.

During the month of April, the temperature inside the Aoral Mission House is hot with temperature reaching 38.5 degrees Celcius.

In October 2013, we visited Aoral again and the temperature is much cooler and all the tools have been properly stored and arranged.



Industrial Training Skills at PKH

On October 2010, I visited Project Khmer Hope (PKH) at Kg Speu, Cambodia, again for 4 days to see the progress of the Industrial Skill training. It is a 9 months full-time course. The training is progressing well and the 23 students have completed almost three quarter of the training.

Dinning Chair (Carpentry Work)



After they have completed the technical training, the students will undergo a short introductory lessons to prepare them for the hospitality industry. They can then work as maintenance technicians in the hotel industry.

   

Masonry Work (Concrete Bench)



The students are also taught about the 5S systems which is generally accepted by industry. It is about improving quality, reducing costs, and improving safety which are all key concerns for anyone who works for a manufacturing company or other organization. Many companies implement lean manufacturing in order to reduce excess wastes that occur within a company. They will learn the 5 concepts, namely:

1. Sort
2. Set in Order
3. Shine
4. Standardize
5. Sustain

Currently they are in the process of improving their Tools and Store room by having a proper inventory system with a proper sign in/out records system. We hope to see this implemented in 6 months time.
