A happy cooking crew Each Christmas the Salesian Girls Technical School in Tuol Kork stages a Christmas Bazaar as a fun event and a fund-raiser. Fr. Charlie has mass for the sisters and some students at 6:15 AM each Friday morning at the school.
A large part of the bazaar is dedicated to serving nine or ten different kinds of food. This happy crew was preparing a fried vegetable patty.

Preparing another delicacy This stall served a meet dish, cooked in a wok with vegetables. One of the Salesian Sisters came over to see how things were going.

Mixing fruit drinks To go along with the different dishes, this stall served a variety of drinks. A favorite among many during the afternoon was a smoothie made with passion fruit.

Cutting vegetables for a food stall Perhaps the more glamorous and more enjoyable tasks were working with customers at the different stalls, but there was also work to be done in the background. These two girls were preparing vegetables that would go into some of the dishes.
