        I want to share information to those who are interested in human resource development in Cambodia.

        We have conducted "Research on Training Need--the tourism sector in Cambodia"-will learn about general management development, human resource, marketing, finance, IT.

        The best practice is using my 4L's

• Learning Methodology
• Learning Environment
• Learning Opportunies
• Learning Communities

        in sharing ideas rather than just one way lectures.

ผมมาถึงพนมเปญแล้วตั้งแต่วันอาทิตย์ วันจันทร์เริ่มงานทุนมนุษย์ 5 วัน ในสาขาการท่องเที่ยว รายละเอียด ผมเล่าให้ฟังแล้ว

-ในขณะที่ในกรุงเทพมีแต่เรื่อง ขัดแย้งกันร้ายแรง แต่ในกรุงพนมเปญไม่มีอะไรผิดปกติ

-โครงการนี้ อาจจะเล็กๆ แต่มูลนิธิพัฒนาทรัพยากรมนุษย์ระหว่างประเทศได้ทำงานต่อเนื่องมาเป็นครั้งที่ 9 แล้ว แสดงว่าระดับประชาชนด้วยกันไม่มีปัญหา ปัญหาคือระดับการเมือง
