Happenings in the Maryknoll world, especially in the Cambodia Mission Team.

US Trip 1

My schedule is not working out!  I haven’t had any time at all to sit down and work on this website.  Too many meetings, planned and unplanned.

I can give you a note on the vehicles used coming here.  I was thinking after I arrived about them:

  • Motorcycle taxi to the Phnom Penh airport (carrying a suitcase)
  • Four jumbo jets from Phnom Penh to Bangkok to Tokyo to San Francisco to Newark.
  • An airport bus from Newark to Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan
  • a MetroNorth train to Croton-Harmon
  • A taxi from Croton-Harmon to Maryknoll in Ossining, NY

The about took a total of 43 hours from take-off in Phnom Penh.

Where is he?

Greetings…   I just arrived at Maryknoll, New York early this morning after almost two days of travel.  We had some delays because of Air Traffic Control and the trip took longer than usual.  I hope to get accounts of this trip online very quickly!

A Happy Return

In 2000, Rachel (red hair) came to Cambodia as a Maryknoll Lay Missioner, in the same class as Charlie Dittmeier.  She worked with children with severe disabilities at the Rabbit School.  At the same time, Sambath (second from right) was teaching at the Royal University of Phnom Penh in a Maryknoll project.  Rachel and Sambath met and eventually married after they returned to the United States.  This week they are back for a visit and to introduce to us their two children.  Welcome back!
