Interview with Chum Dimangsss

Please tell us about how you came to the ACAC.

I came to know about the ACAC and the Naomi Tami Scholarship Program through a friend of mine. We used to work together – it was an office job at a library – and he knew that this was not the right occupation for me. I’ve told him many times about my passion and my dream of becoming a chef…

ABOUT US

02
The Naomi Tami Memorial Scholarship Fund was established on May 7, 2017 by the Tami family to honour the memory of Naomi Laura Tami who passed away in 2013 at the early age of 23. The Memorial Fund is a living legacy of Naomi’s enthusiasm, compassion, warmth, and passion for new adventures that we seek to extend to others. Naomi was a graduate of a Swiss Hotel Management School.

Grasping life with open hands

For me, starting the memorial fund is the best possible way to honour Naomi, as this support can become the biggest stepping stone for a young person. It will help open up great possibilities for their future. Unleashing their creativity, it will make a difference in their lives. Encouraging others to dream big and step out into the world would mean a lot to our Naomi. – Simonetta Tami

In keeping with her love of life and her own professional passions,
the Naomi Tami Memorial Scholarship Fund provides the opportunity
for those who are committed to excellence and have a passion for
hospitality and culinary arts, but do not have the financial means
to study towards a qualification to help them excel in their career.

Potential students may apply for scholarships (full or part)
to study at the Academy of Culinary Arts Cambodia,
through Shift360 Foundation.
