The Rosewood Charity Dinner in support of the EHT Paul Dubrule took place last Thursday at the Rosewood Phnom Penh. The aim of the event was to raise funds to provide scholarships to students, facilitating their access to education and enabling them to pursue professional careers in the hospitality industry.

A total of 116 people attended the event, which made it possible to fund more than 11 bursaries, not counting the pledges.

The evening began with a cocktail reception, during which a number of welcome and thank-you speeches were given by EHT Director Paul Dubrule, François Schnoebelen and Rosewood Phnom Penh Director Daniel Simon.

“It was a most enjoyable evening. We would like to express our gratitude to our donors and sponsors, with special thanks to the Rosewood Phnom Penh for hosting a sumptuous six-course dinner with our esteemed alumni. A sufficient amount of donations has been raised to provide financial assistance for the Paul Dubrule School of Hospitality and Tourism scholarships, which will benefit young Cambodian women from rural areas,” Mr Schnoebelen wrote on social media following the evening, adding:

“The school's alumni, who started their careers at Rosewood, wanted to contribute to the community and create opportunities for the next generation. The staff were welcoming and attentive, serving 116 distinguished guests.”

The evening attracted a host of VIPs, diplomats, business leaders, artists, philanthropists and industry professionals.

The menu, accompanied by wines, included six courses and a welcome cocktail. There were 12 tables in all, each named after an alumnus of the school who is currently employed at Rosewood. Each alumnus was seated at a table bearing his or her name, symbolising the success and achievements of students graduating from this prestigious school.

The École d'Hôtellerie et de Tourisme Paul Dubrule, a project of the NGO Formation et Progrès-Cambodia, has gradually established itself as one of the most reputable vocational schools in the hotel and tourism sector in Cambodia. Working closely and with the support of its partners, Accor Hotels and the prestigious Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne, the school has trained more than 3,500 young Cambodians. On average, it welcomes 300 students a year, 30% of whom benefit from a scholarship.

The school offers five ASEAN-certified programmes, all accredited by the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training and the Ministry of Tourism. In partnership with the prestigious École Hôtelière de Lausanne and Accor, the EHT has also been offering a diploma in hotel management since 2016.
