Japanese performers take a bow


A group of deaf people from the Minato City Association of the Deaf visited Cambodia at the end of April, 2002. First they went to Siem Reap to tour Angkor Wat and visit the Krousar Thmey deaf school there, and then they came to Phnom Penh to meet the deaf community there, visit another Krousar Thmey deaf school right outside of Phnom Penh, and hold discussions with local leaders about future aid to the deaf community here.
