Close call in Cambodia

SIHANOUKVILLE: 11th September 2009 --  As the fortunately uninjured Fr Rodas put it "In moments like this, we discover how fragile life is".  He and some of the group of boys and adults he was travelling with, escaped serious injury when their vehicle hit a truck in Phnom Penh.  Not quite so lucky were Fr Luis Oyazo of Phon Penh and several of the Brother Sun group and a volunteer from Sihanoukville, who needed treatment and an overnight stay in hospital.  But it would seem that all are now doing well.
    It has not been a good week in this regard, given the tragic event in Thailand and now this.  Fr Wong, who came quickly to Bangkok to help facilitate arrangements for the transfer of Fr Macapinlaac's body to Manila and to comfort those most closely affected by the tragedy, soon found himself by yet another bedside, this time in Cambodia's capital.
    The Sihanoukville group had decided to come to Phnom Penh to catch up with Fr Wong who is on an animation visit to Cambodia. The incident occurred in heavy rain and poor visibility when the group had already reached Phnom Penh on the afternoon of September 9th.
    Fr Wong had originally intended to visit all Salesian locations in Cambodia, but the monsoon rains made that impracticable. He visited Phnom Penh and Poipet; Sihanoukville was deemed not possible, but the Sihanoukville group have now met him at the Sensok International hospital in Phnom Penh!
