SIHANOUKVILLE: 11 August 2010 -- We drew attention some time
ago to the very first edition of the Khmer Salesian Bulletin. As
explained, it is a web-only edition for two reasons, fundamentally, one
being the lack of funds at the moment to produce a paper version, but
the other and more positive reason being the extent of development in
this area, both as regards the Salesian work in this country, and the
virtual explosion of a Cambodian online presence (the internet first
became available in Cambodia only in 1997).
Now the second edition of the Khmer
Salesian Bulletin is available, and given that they asked for
comments after the first edition, it seems not only that they received
useful ones, but took note of them! Even though almost everyone
reading this will not be able to read and understand the Khmer script,
it becomes immediately obvious that the layout and choice of content
('understandable' from the graphics alone) has improved.
The SB is also accompanied by a blog.
Unfortunately (if my screen is any example) you won't get far with this
unless you have Khmer script enabled and that's unlikely! But the
idea of accompanying the ISSUU-based pdf Bulletin with a blog is a good
one.
Not associated directly with the Salesian Bulletin,
but just to demonstrate how the Salesians are endeavouring to reach
Cambodian youth today in the 'language' they understand well, along
with the rest of the world's youth, you could check out the latest
photo-report on the annual Basketball inter-sections game. There's a classic
shot there of the revered Fr John Visser on a bike!
