"The People That We Meet Each Day"

We realized we have posted much about the random things we have seen while traveling through this city and country, but we have neglected telling about the many people we work with. Since we moved to the Cambodia Service Center we have now work with a diverse group of people who have become friends. During the coming days we will introduce you to this group.

We will start with  Sophaneth. Neth (pronounced Night) is the Materials Management Supervisor. Her desk is in our little office area, allowing us to get to know her very well. She went to BYU Hawaii where she received her Bachelor and Master degrees, then spent about a year in Sandy Utah for an internship. She told us when she was in the U.S. the first time she tried to walk across the street she about got run over. She quickly learned traffic was different there than Cambodia where traffic just molds itself around whatever is in the way. Neth helps new missionaries get visas and interviews with embassies. She is also the one who makes travel arrangements and reservations, and much more. She is a valuable member of the Cambodia team.

Rathana is likely the first person one would meet when visiting the Service Center. She is the Distribution Center Supervisor, which really means she is in charge of the Distribution Center. She has been quite busy for several weeks doing a reset of all the displays in the Distribution Store area on the ground floor. She is also the one who answers phones for the center. Rathana is in our institute class and has brought her three year old daughter with her to class a few times. We count her as our friend here in Cambodia.

We will introduce you to more of our friends in coming days. Here is a picture of Neth and Rathana.
