'Look, you will soon face a dangerous crisis; the devil will try to ensnare you. To start with, he will tell you that frequent Communion is good for children, not for adults, and that once in a great while is quite enough for you. Then he will do his best to keep you from sermons by making you feel bored by God’s words. He will convince you that certain things are not sinful. Then you’ll have to tussle with friends and what they might say, with [dangerous] readings, with your own passions, and so on. Be on your guard. Do not let the devil rob you of that piece of mind and purity of soul which makes you God’s friends!'
(Don Bosco)

Page 5 of 15 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.
