An informal portrait of Sister Joan Healy, a Brown Josephite nun, who, as a volunteer, worked with Cambodian refugees in the Thai border camps from 1989 before managing an Overseas Service Bureau (OSB) project with refugees who returned to the Battambang province under the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) Repatriation scheme. Sister Healy is teaching ten year old Houn Tien English as they sit on the verandah of the traditionally styled home of medical student Meas Nee and his family, with whom Sister Healy is staying. One of her major concerns is helping traumatised Cambodians to embrace the notion of self sufficiency. The OSB is an Australian non government organisation which coordinates Australian volunteer projects abroad.
