- How foundations, e.g. the Shinta Mani Foundation, can support learning and future jobs

A good foundation can help young people have a better life and good work in tourism. It gives education and training in important skills. Students can learn English, computer skills, and hotel work, like serving guests, cleaning rooms, or working in restaurants. They also learn life skills, such as teamwork, responsibility, and communication.
A strong foundation also gives practical experience. Students can work in real hotels or tourist places to use what they learn in class. This experience helps them feel confident and ready for work. The foundation should support students with free classes, meals, uniforms, and sometimes a place to live. This is very important for students from poor families or far villages.
A good foundation teaches young people to care for the environment and local culture. They learn to respect nature, protect animals, and understand traditions.
The main goal of a good foundation is to help students find jobs and have a better future. With training, support, and experience, young people can grow and succeed. They can work in hotels or tourist places and help the community. Foundations like this make life better for young people and their families, and also improve tourism by having skilled and responsible workers.
