Day 12
15 March 2007


Today was the last full day in Cambodia for most of the Friends Across Borders group. Tomorrow night eight of the board a flight back to the US. The pace didn't slow, though, because it was the last day. They visited Jim McLaughlin's work in the microbiology lab and Roberta McLaughlin's work with youth at YRDP. Tonight they joined all the Maryknollers at the office for a final dinner and a Khmer blessing dance.
