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!
