Phalla Neang was the first teacher of Braille in Cambodia and now runs five schools for the blind in the country. Her belief that the blind and visually impaired should receive the same general education like everyone else is inspiring for many in a country where disabled people often live on the margins of society. Since 1994, Krousar Thmey is the only structure in Cambodia offering a comprehensive Education Programme for blind children and charismatic educator Phalla Neang is the driving force behind it.
