Vang Sokun Lina, (left) a sixteen year old polio victim who was the first graduate of Journalists' English Typing Centre and is now a receptionist at the Australian Centre for English Language Training (known as ACE) in Phnom Penh, speaks to Lorraine Sanderson who is visiting her at her other part time job at the National Library of Cambodia, typing catalogue cards for the thousands of books donated by the Friends of the National Library of Australia. The assistance provided by the Typing Centre not only gave Lina the skills to gain her job at the National Library, but also gave her the confidence to work independently of the care of her family, although she depends on her father to transport her to work on the back of his motor scooter and carry her into the office.
