Today I spoke at Holy Cross College where we had two really good sessions with their Grade 10 and an excellent discussion with a group of their faculty over lunch.  Click here to see pictures from the day.

These are some of young deaf men participating in our DDP job training to become barbers.  This morning I dropped in for a quick trim of my beard as I prepare to head to Australia to speak to donors about Caritas Australia who gives money to the Deaf Development Programme.  That’s the name on the shirts of the guys on the left and on the right.  I leave in about an hour and will return to Phnom Penh on 2 March.

Today was basically a travel day.  We left the retreat center after breakfast, made a stop at the big market in Sihanoukville, and then headed north to Phnom Penh and points beyond (for the Kampong Cham team).  Click here to see the pictures.

 

Day Three was spent half at the center and half at the beach.  Click here to see more of what we did.

This year the DDP Annual Staff Retreat was held  in Kampong Som Province on the southern Cambodian coast. Click here for Tuesday, Day 1.

I left the Maryknoll residence this morning and stopped at the Maryknoll office in Lai Chi Kok to say goodbye.  Then it was on to the airport and to Phnom Penh via Ho Chi Minh City.  Click here for the final photos.

 

Today I visited Sokly’s work place at Chinese University, the old Canossa School for the Deaf (right), and then had dinner with deaf friends in the evening.  Click here to see the pictures.
