Sala Bai Charity Wine Auction – 29 November

Friends of Sala Bai is a not-for-profit organisation supported by individuals, companies and other community based organisations whose sole purpose is to raise funds in support of Sala Baï, a hotel school based in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Each year, the school, trains 100 young disadvantaged Cambodians to the four main professions of the hospitality industry: restaurant waiter/waitress, cook, receptionist & housekeeping attendants. During the 12-month training, the school covers all the training fees (lessons, school supplies, books, uniforms), and daily expenses (accommodations, food, bicycle, insurance and medical expenses) for the students.

The training lasts 11 months from September to July.  The 12th month, August, is dedicated to assist the students to find their first employment.

Each year the ‘Friends of Sala Bai Australia’ pledges $50,000. This money will cover the fees for the students for 1 year as mentioned above. The organisation raises funds and support  for Sala Bai Hotel and Restaurant School on an ongoing basis. The students of the Blue Mountains International Hotel Management School are a major contributor to the Friends fundraising activities.

On 29 November the Friends of Sala Bai are organising the Annual Sala Bai Wine auction. A night of fun and entertainment  with a charity wine auction, raffle, delicious food and drink. Tickets are $75.00. The night starts at 5.00 pm till 8.30 pm and takes place at the Electrolux Showroom, 163 O’Roirdan Street, Mascot.
