| Here the Singapore group (in purple shirts) and some of the DDP staff organize a game. Small groups of deaf people had to learn a type of origami and compete in folding some paper figures. |

| Many of the deaf people in Phnom Penh are unemployed or underemployed and living in poor families and are often hungry so a popular part of programs like this is lunch when rice boxes with chicken were served for all. |
 |
| Isolation from the society around them is one of the great afflictions of deaf people so they really enjoy getting together in settings where they are accepted and where they can communicate freely and easily with friends. |
 |
| In the middle is Kiyuki, one of the sign language students in the DDP sign language learning program. With her are four young deaf women who teach sign language. Kiyuki came to this activity to practice her signing with real deaf people--the only way to really learn sign language. |

| The Singapore group had hoped to show a video but they ran into a variety of obstacles. The biggest obstacle was the bright light in early afternoon. We had a tent set up in the community center grounds but it did not provide enough diminished light to be able to see the projected images. No one worried too much about that, though, and they just moved on to the next part of the program. |
