Hong Kong visitor
Yesterday, Mandy, a young deaf woman from Hong Kong, visited DDP to learn more about our program. She knows some of the Hong Kong deaf people I used to work with. Now she is a government civil servant and working on a masters degree. Here she is with Sophy, our Education Project manager.
Street Food…We love it!
Just about anything you want to eat is available on the street–without even getting off your moto–and people are queued up to get it.
Poverty–we choose to let it continue
Another choice for supper…
The night time street stalls for food offer a variety of selections. This one sells roast duck.
Supper is ready…
A large percentage of the Cambodian population gets supper from the street, partly because it’s cheap and convenient, and partly because it avoids lighting a charcoal fire in a clay pot which is the way most people cook at home. Here this food stall offers grilled fish.
New Church: It’s coming….
The detail work inside the new church is continuing but they are also getting serious now about the landscaping and drainage.
Steamed Snails
When you’re hankering for steamed snails in the U.S., you probably have to look around a bit before you find a shop that sells them. Not so in Phnom Penh! And at this shop, you don’t even have to get off your motorcycle to buy them!
A really big sewer…
Look at the size of these storm drain sewer pipe sections being laid on the street by the Deaf Development Programme! The channel is more than 7 feet tall! It takes a lot of these sections to drain a block of street but they can really remove the water!
Job Coaching 3
Today was the final day of the job coaching training. Kevin Cook presented a lot of good material in these three days. Now the challenge for all the Caritas Cambodia projects is to utilize that information in strengthening our support of appropriate employment for people with disabilities.
