A Series of (un)Fortunate Events




Yesterday I met Albeiro again in Phnom Penh. Last time I saw him was when we gave him a send off some four years ago to proceed with his theology studies in Israel. Now he's back and at present is working in Don Bosco Streetchildren Center Poipet (that's at the Khmer-Thai border). More pictures of the streetchildren work can be found in his spanish site: http://tinyurl.com/c37pf

We both arrived in Cambodia in 1999 after Oscar fetched us and in turn, we saw him off to Africa (see previous post).

What astonishes me is the fact that Albeiro was ordained a priest the almost on the same week Oscar died. Only days separated the birth of a salesian priest from the death of one.

Now I believe that guy Job was right about You: You know when to give and when to take away.
