(Once again sorry for short break in service - this happens when I'm not in a geographical location where I can connect with a server that lets me send the quantity of emails required by austraLasia. Can't help that. The number of recipients keeps increasing. Lately we welcome the novices in the Philippines-based novitiate)

Don Bosco Vocational School Extends Outreach
PHNOM PEN: 12 July 2010 --  We often hear of the SDB work in Cambodia.  Time now to hear a little of the Sisters as reported locally (no attempt to alter the terminology employed in the report).....

"A Church-run school’s mission to provide quality education for poor Cambodian girls received a boost recently with the opening of a new dormitory and library. About 300 people, including a senior government official, attended the July 2 opening of the Don Bosco Vocational Training Center’s new building in Phnom Penh. The facility also houses study rooms and an audio visual room.
    Pich Sophoan, adviser to Prime Minister Hun Sen, praised the Salesian nuns for their “work of love” in providing vocational training and lodging for young female students. He said the nuns are the government’s partners in developing Cambodia’s human resource and reducing poverty.
    Ka Sros, a first-year student, says the dormitory would allow her to save on room rental. “I’ll be able to stay in this new building and reduce my expenses,” said the 20-year-old.
    The Salesian nuns aim to promote the values of morality and honesty through education, and to train girls to become leaders, school director Sister Elizabeth Ophriini Lohrii said during the opening ceremony. Not only do the girls benefit from their education, the school also organizes outreach programs to five nearby villagers every Sunday during which students teach children and youths hygiene and literacy, including English.
    The school was established in 1992. A total of 729 students have since completed two-year courses in home management and secretarial and computer skills.
    Many are headhunted by employers even before graduation.
