Don Bosco hits the South
Eastern Globe
SIHANOUKVILLE: 23rd May 2007 -- They call it 'Cambodia's most colourful' and it is
all of that - the opening page is also a little lurid - but if you are prepared
to wade through 45 very colourful pages of photos and text on Cambodia in a pdf
download of the South Eastern Globe (which can be found at www.se-globe.com, you
will see a familiar face - Don Bosco!
The text is brief,
but it reads thus:
"Cambodians can now hear about the
life, times and work of Saint Don Bosco (sic) in a series of 60 minute radio
programmes on Don Bosco Sihanoukville (DBS) radio. The local church said
it was seeking to increase its media presence and has also set up a website at
www.catholiccambodia.org which features information in Khmer, English, French
and Spanish. The media campaign also hopes to help Cambodians realise the
positive ways in which the media can be used. Don Bosco organisations are an
important presence in the country's aid community, providing education and
training in a wide range of areas".
One suspects this is a
result of some good work being done by a young Colombian Salesian, trained as a
journalist, and now working in Sihanoukville. No doubt we will hear
more.
