5 Project Cambodia
Our club had donated $1000 to the St Michael Church of Kampong Som, Cambodia.
Every year, the Catholic Church of Sihanouk Ville brings hope and joy to the inmates at the
prison cells by inviting leaders of other Christian and non-Christian communities for the
activity. This year is no exception; they will bear gifts for each prisoner with personal utilities
worth five dollars. Our donation will help to realize this plan.
6. 2012 Christmas get-together
This year’s Christmas Get-together was held on 16 December at Joanna’s Sie house. This is a
pot-luck dinner held after our Meeting. We had great fellowship and a variety of food done by
our members.
Members’ husbands were also present. Of special mention is Paul’s daughter, Nicole who flew
in from Dublin an hour before the Party and started baking some extraordinary cakes. Paul’s
hand on the turkey was also incredible and very tender.
