Pax Christi and lot of my love and greetings.
Thank you for constantly updating me with the news of Gujarat. The sudden
demise of both Frs.Gorosquita and Anton caused me immense pain and I am sure
that they both are in the heavenly aboad for they were great souls who have
reaped a great harvest in Gujarat.
I am fine. It's been exactly a month since my arrival here to Cambodia. I
feel that I am on the right track aspiring to serve in the Lord's Vineyard. At
least 15 hours of ''Khmer classes'' I may have completed. I am progressing ahead
to at least utter some words in the local language. The progress is not great
but noticeble. I burn midnight oil and am sure that my work will bear
fruit.
Today onwards, I am on ''Cambodian Exposure Tour'' which will enable me to
know our works in Cambodia. I will travel and stay in each of our Jesuit
communities of Cambodia for two days. I am already in a place called ''Banteay
Prieb'' which is in the outskirts of Cambodian capital city Phnom Penh. It is a
house for the differently abled people. The students here learn sculpture,
electronics, sewing. They make wheel chairs, repair TV, mobiles,computers etc,
design and produce a lot of attractive cloths, sculpt beautiful religious
articles. I love this place and people.
By and large, I am enjoying my stay over here and constantly asking the
Lord to endow his graces upon me so that I am master the Khmer language. I ask
of your fervant prayers and assure you the same.
Yours in Christ,
Amalan s.j.
