Christmas in Cambodia 2006

Christmas Bazaar at Salesian Girls School 17 December 2006 The Salesians are known around the world for their excellent technical schools in poor and developing countries. The schools usually have the name Don Bosco (the Salesian founder) associated with them. Cambodia has two Salesian schools in Phnom Penh, one for boys and one for girls. I go to the girls' school on Friday mornings to have mass for the sisters who run the school. They invite me to come to their annual Christmas bazaar every year.

The stage at the bazaar saw a constant string of performances in the morning and again in the afternoon The main attraction of the bazaar seems to be the food, ten or twelve little stalls serving a variety of dishes A stall serving a variety of Khmer desserts Beef and sausage satays were cooked on the spot Peeling sugar cane to be squeezed for a natural drink A staple in every Asian country is a big bowl of noodles Other Christmas Events:   |   McLaughlins' House   |   Ecumenical Service   |   Salesian Bazaar  |   Sisters' House  |   Salesian Drama  |   Christmas Mass  |   Christmas Dinner Go to Christmas 2006 main page Go to Charlie Dittmeier's home page
