What the…???

Do you know what these are?  They’re banana seeds!  We get all sizes, shapes, and colors of bananas here.  They grow all year round–and really fast.  Occasionally, with one variety about four inches long, I find seeds in them–not the usual small black dots but big monsters like these.  At lunch today I found these eight seeds in one banana.  It’s really easy to break a tooth on one of them because they’re not soft at all.

Another farewell

This week we had another farewell at the Deaf Development Programme as our social worker, Tay Vannarith (R), bade farewell to the rest of the DDP staff.  Vannarith set up our social work program eight years ago and has been a faithful and dedicated source of help to the deaf community that will be sorely missed.

Visitors from Malaysia / Tuesday

The visitors returned from Siem Reap this evening and we went to a final dinner together.  Click here for a photo from the restaurant.  Tomorrow morning early they fly back to Malaysia.

[Somehow, somewhere the photos from Thursday and Saturday have been misplaced!  If I ever find them on my computer, I’ll let you know!]
