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!
This is the last part of my USA trip, from NYC back through Chicago, Hong Kong, and Bangkok to Phnom Penh. Click here to get a few glimpses along the way.
Today I said my goodbyes at the Walsh Building, the headquarters for the Maryknoll Lay Missioners, and then went into Manhattan where it would be easier to get to an early plane than from Ossining. Click here to follow the day’s plan.
After the board meeting ended and my fellow board members had departed, I had the opportunity to catch up with some people and to catch up on some work around the Maryknoll campus. Click here to see the happenings.
The Maryknoll Lay Missioners Board Meeting took place on Friday and Saturday. It is a delightful group who work very well together addressing the serious issues of the organization. Click here to see the happenings of these two days.
