Phnom Penh - Teuk Thla, Cambodia Mission, 28 Nov – 5 Dec 2026 Registration
Mission size: 60-65 participants
The Phnom Penh Teuk Thla Mission is a week-long work and spiritual experience in the Salesian Sisters run Don Bosco School Teuk Thla. We work closely with them, and their prayerful and joyful attitude informs and inspires us, and we learn how to live well in community and overcome difficulties with patience and love.
Don Bosco School Teuk Thla is located in the city with about 1400 students from poor families who are cared for by the Salesian Sisters. They are found and gathered into the fold from the most impoverished of urban conditions.
We cooperate with the Salesian Sisters to nurture and bring a shot of our vibrance into their fold. The sisters say, it helps them see Christ in the harsh city life they struggle in. This is an opportunity to make a real difference, to bring mutual learning, friendship, Christian values and support to the students and families in their school and home. We also fundraise to help give them the opportunity to be in school. So if you have an open heart and willing hands and minds, you are called.
