Graduation in Phnom Penh |
The Education Project of the Deaf Development Programme has classrooms in Kampong Cham Province, Kampot Province, and in Phnom Penh. At the end of the two-year program, graduations are held in all three locations. |
At the beginning of the ceremony, held in a local restaurant near DDP, Touch Sophy, the manager of the Education Project addressed the graduating students and their parents. | |
Then each of the graduates received a certificate noting their accomplishments. Some of the students received certificates from Charles Dittmeier, the director of the Deaf Development Programme. | |
Some other students received their certificates from Keat Sokly, the manager of the Deaf Development Programme and from Touch Sophy. There were sixteen graduates in all in Phnom Penh. | |
After the ceremony the students and their teachers gathered for a group photo to remember this day. | |
After their two years of education, these students will now move into job training, if they wish. Many of them requested individual photos with Charlie Dittmeier and with other staff. | |
Once the students had started to go home, the staff finished eating and enjoyed remembrances of their experiences with the students. L-R: Veasna, Phirom, and Sophy. |
