A Cambodian book made by Colombians

Sihanoukville. This month the Don Bosco Sihanoukville technical school in its social communication department, has published the book "Welcome His Majesty to Don Bosco Sihanoukville", a work dedicated to the Royal Visit of His Majesty Norodom Sihamoni, King of Cambodia, to the Don Bosco Technical School Sihanoukville on February 12, 2007. In that time His Majesty wanted to visit the workshops, meet with the students and teachers and open officially the Don Bosco Hotel School of Sihanoukville. The book celebrated also the ten years of Salesian presence in the city (1997 - 2007) and the 50th Anniversary of missionary life of Fr. John Visser, the actual rector and who has worked between Thailand and Cambodia building schools and providing education for poor kids and youth of both countries. The book was edited by a Colombian missionary: Fr. Albeiro Rodas, who is also a journalist from Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana of Medellin. Mr. William Velásquez from Bogotá participated in suggestions for the design, all through Chat rooms. It became then a Cambodian book made by Colombians.
