Tomorrow the whole staff from the Maryknoll Deaf Development Programme heads to the Catholic center in Sihanoukville on the southern coast of Cambodia for a four-day staff retreat or conference. We’ll be there till our return on Friday. I hope I’m in a building that has an Internet connection so I can post updates about the goings-on there.

People and activities in the Cambodian deaf world
Hong Kong Trip — Tuesday
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.
Hong Kong Trip — Monday
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.
Hong Kong Trip — Sunday
This was a day with another trip that was a new experience for Sokly—a trip to one of the outlying islands–and then I ended the day with dinner with friends from Hong Kong. Click here to see the pictures.
Hong Kong Trip — Saturday P.M.
Sokly and I visited quite a few places of interest in the morning and then in the afternoon went to the pastoral center on the Kowloon side for the liturgy to begin the anniversary celebration. It was a good opportunity to see again old friends–former students when I was at the deaf school. Click here to see the photos.
Return from Hong Kong
I just returned from Hong Kong a couple hours ago (it’s 10:44 PM Tuesday night here) and there isn’t time to continue the updates today. I’ll post Saturday afternoon’s photos on Wednesday morning our time.

Deaf Day Celebration 2017
Every year deaf communities around the world celebrate a Deaf Day (sometimes a Deaf Week) to give deaf people a chance to come together and to put on programs of deaf awareness so that others can understand about deaf people. Click here for pictures of our Deaf Day celebration in Cambodia.
