Sreyteit is preparing for employment as a barista while advancing her English, music, assistive technology and independent living skills for a self-reliant future.
Barista training & English study
Sponsorship contributes to shared housing, daily living, transport, continued training and regular DYP follow-up during the project year.
Sreyteit joined the DYP Learning Center after several years without access to suitable education or training. At DYP, learning Braille became an important step toward reading, writing and engaging with learning materials more independently.
She now specialises in barista training, including coffee preparation, beverage service and basic café operations. Alongside this pathway, she continues intermediate English study and develops assistive technology and music skills, including guitar and xylophone.
During the Semi-Independent Living Project year, Sreyteit’s main vocational responsibility will be working as a barista while continuing her English studies. She will also manage more of her schedule, travel, shared household duties, budgeting and daily decisions, with regular DYP guidance.
