Today was the travel day back to Phnom Penh. It was another long trip, nine hours to do 180 miles, but that’s Cambodia. No one seemed to mind too much because it was the end of a really enjoyable trip. Click here for some photos from the return trip.
Post #3 was about the morning and afternoon activities at the second day of the staff meeting. This post is about our gathering in the evening for a final meal and giving of awards. Click here for photos from the restaurant.
Today was a sightseeing and fun day. In the morning we went to a waterfall and in the afternoon to a mangrove swamp. In the evening we had a final dinner together but that will be the next part. Click here to see photos from today.

Every year the Maryknoll Deaf Development Programme has a general staff meeting to bring all the staff together for two or three days. We work in different provinces and some of the staff do not get to know each other and see each other except at this annual meeting. This year we are meeting in Koh Kong in southern Cambodia, and because it is so far away, we allowed a day to travel, then two days of gatherings, and then a day to return.

This weekend Bishop Olivier came to our English liturgy to give the Sacrament of Confirmation to nine of our youth. It turned out to be a pleasant ceremony, but different from other confirmations because we had to practice social distancing and wear masks. Click here to see photos from the ceremony.

These three ladies are all within shouting distance on the same block of a Phnom Penh street. Their baguettes, one of the last traces of Cambodia’ French history, are much in demand.
