The conclusion of Pope Francis’ address to a special joint session of Congress in September, 2015:
“A nation can be considered GREAT when it defends liberty as Lincoln did; when it fosters a culture which enables people to “dream” of full rights for all their brothers and sisters, as Martin Luther King sought to do; when it strives for justice and the cause of the oppressed, as Dorothy Day did by her tireless work; the fruit of a faith which becomes dialogue and sows peace in the contemplative style of Thomas Merton.”
It probably happens in every culture and I’ve certainly observed “cruising” in US culture as I was growing up and as I worked with youth in Kentucky. Cruising–riding around aimlessly with your friends–is part of youth culture here in Phnom Penh, too. Here a group of high school girls take to the streets on a Sunday afternoon.

After two days in Kampong Cham Province, Kalle returned really excited about the video he shot there and his experience with the deaf community outside of Phnom Penh. Then he returned to the Deaf Community Center in Phnom Penh to film more with the local deaf populace. 

Yesterday was spent sitting around the meeting table but this morning was spent shooting video for the seven short films Kalle is making. Then in the afternoon the meetings resumed.
The Deaf Development Programme office was closed today for the celebration of Women’s Day, a public holiday in Cambodia, but Johanna Karinen met with Keat Sokly and Charlie Dittmeier all day long, away from the office. And Johanna was joined by two colleagues who arrived from Finland.
Tuesday was the second day of meetings with Johanna Karinen and we discussed the logframe analysis, checking that we included all the activities and had the required indicators for monitoring.
