Sam, the Founding Director of Angkor Kids Center and All For Kids Organization, took a short lecture sharing the inspirational stories of the school and his life development with pressing on the benefits of volunteering. From there, he made a formula to calculate the Value of volunteering as One minus One equal Two multiply by x (1-1=2*x). Sam explained that by volunteering is giving which means Minus(-), the more volunteers extract their knowledge to share to others, the more they gain from that sharing. The X representor from the “Two multiplies by X”, it can be any numbers and only volunteers themselves know and feel this. This formula reflecting a Khmer proverbs says “វិជ្ជាជាទ្រព្យជាប់នឹងប្រាណចាយច្រើនរឹតតែចម្រើនឡើង កន្ដៀមិនកោរកណ្ដុរមិនកាត់ មិនអាចខ្លាចបាត់ ខ្ចាត់បង់ទៅណា។’’ This means knowledge is a treasure exists in oneself, the more they spend, the more the gain. There is nothing can harm or steal it.
Sam also added that there are many opportunities as well that volunteers can get for instance monthly sponsorship cash allowance, enrolling to some internal and external capacity building, and scholarships to various colleges and institutions, like Haven Cambodia, Paul Dubrule tourism schools etc.
The event was ended with a Buffet dinner to a local BBQ buffet dinner in Siem Reap for all volunteers and AKC staff. The travel also arranged to shuttled by a coach. This the first gathering in town for everyone since the Covid-19 pandemic started.
Last but not least, everyone are really appropriate and found a great pride in themselves working and volunteering with AKC school and AFK NGO.
