for Cambodian Womenby Supatatt Dangkrueng
A training course "Basic Business Management and Marketing for Vendors" was held at the YMCA of Chiang Mai during May 15-25 with 35 Cambodians registered, representing government organizations, and private sectors from different provinces of Cambodia.
This was a cooperative effort from the Ministry of Women and Veteran's Affairs (MOWVA), Chiang Mai YMCA, and the YMCA for Northern Development Foundation (YNDF) to assist vulnerable women, children and handicapped people.
At the end of meeting, certificates were presented to participants by Sir Vorakit Kantakalung, General Secretary, De. Patcharawan Srisilpanandana, Chairperson International Relations and Ms. Phanomwan Yoodee, as the representatives from Thailand and H.E. Ing Kantha Phavi, Secretary of State, and H.E. Keth Sam Ath, under secretary of State, MOWVA, Cambodia, as the representatives from that nation.
Dr. Phanomwan disclosed that the trainers and supervisors will return to Cambodia to select a target group to start up and maintain a market of Khmer products in Poipet and other areas for improving the standard of living for disadvantaged people.
H.E. Ing Kantha Phavi said to achieve a success, this project needs supports from government and local organizations. It is hoped to set up a bazaar in Poipet similar to the Chiang Mai Night Bazaar.
