Website Troubles
I’m currently in southern Cambodia with all of our Deaf Development Programme staff from three provinces, for a staff “retreat,” a chance to talk about some of our values and policies and at the same time allow the staff to meet and enjoy each other. I have a good Internet connection in the building I am in at the Catholic center, but for some reason my efforts to log into and change my website have been stymied since I arrived–until just now when I found I was able to start creating this new post. I’ll see now if it goes through, and if it does then I can post some new pages.
Off to Sihanoukville
Tomorrow the whole staff from the Maryknoll Deaf Development Programme heads to the Catholic center in Sihanoukville on the southern coast of Cambodia for a four-day staff retreat or conference. We’ll be there till our return on Friday. I hope I’m in a building that has an Internet connection so I can post updates about the goings-on there.
