21 December 2004

On the second day of the staff meeting, the morning was given to a presentation by Neang Putheara (DDP Program Manager) and Charlie Dittmeier (Maryknoll Project Director) on the present state of affairs at the Deaf Development Program. They explained the actual expenditures at DDP for 2004 and the requested budget for 2005, and then reported that the funding request had been only partially granted so that drastic changes and job changes, including some terminations, will be required in 2005. In the afternoon Putheara and Charlie did individual staff evaluations for all the staff who are in town from the provinces for the week of meetings.
