Nanny Stenman Visit--Page 1

Nanny is the fifth Cooperation Officer to work in Finland with the Deaf Development Program since Maryknoll became the Cambodian partner for DDP in 2002.  The frequent turnover of personnel in Finland has interrupted the smooth flow of administration, but now Nanny comes with a great deal of experience in developing countries and we look forward to working with her.

Nanny and Chap Kim Hoeung at airport

Chap Kim Hoeung, the DDP Program Manger (left) went to the airport to meet Nanny Stenman after her flight from Helsinki via Kuala Lumpur. DDP was fortunate that Nanny was able to stay longer than most of her predecessors.

 

Presentation of sign language researchers

After introducing Nanny to the staff and students of DDP, the six different projects at DDP presented what they are doing to give Nanny an overview of the DDP operations. Here the sign language researchers explain their work. These meetings were at the offices of Catholic Relief Services.

Sou Poly explains job training

FAD not only is a partner in administering DDP with Maryknoll but also provides the largest block of funding. The focus for 2006-2008 is on job training, and Sou Poly, the Skills Development Project officer, explains his work for Nanny.

Reviewing applications

An important part of Nanny's visit was the selection of a new advisor to replace Liza Clews who will leave at the end of 2006. Here the selection committee reviews the curricula vitae and videotapes of those who applied.

DDP staff at buffet dinner

Each year when an FAD cooperation officer comes to visit DDP, we take the whole staff to dinner. It is good for the staff to understand the people and policies of FAD.

 

Staff dinner with Nanny

This year we went to the Hagar Restaurant, open less than a week. Hagar is an NGO that serves women and children in trouble. Women trained at Hagar now can work at the restaurant.
