Back at the beginning of the year - four of our trainees graduated from Smile Restaurant and BSDA gave them a loan to open up their own Khmer restaurant called Samaki which means Solidarity. With a little help they found a place, decorated, designed a menu and then we threw them a big opening party which was great - lots of people, food, dancing and excitement.
