My name is Hin Muny. I was born on 19 October 1981. I'm 19 years old and
single. My hobby is cooking, traveling and going to school. I started studying
in elementary school at Prek Eng School when I was seven years old.
In 1993 I studied in secondary school when I was 13 years old. In
1999 I studied in High School and I got certificate in this year. When I met
Wat Than I studied English and computer; I met the best school for the disabled
people like me. I studied there 18 months and I graduated in computer courses
in 2001.
Now I live with my parents at Kean Svay district, Kandal Province
in the East of Cambodia. My father is a teacher and my mother is a fruit
seller. There are ten members in my family I have six siblings and I am a sixth
child in the family.
I got polio when I was 2 years old. Now I can move because I use
artificial limb. Before I think I am the disabled person I did not want to do
anything and I think I have no ability to work either.
There were not Companies and Organization hire and give me a chance
to work. My parents did not have money to support me to go to the University. I
knew they tried to earn money for me, but it was impossible for them. I was
forced to stop studying but I was determined to find the skills to improve
myself. When I studied in Wat Than I didn't think I was a disabled person. In
this world I have many good friends, teachers, and good leaders to take care of
me.
I have two dreams in my life - the first dream I want to study at
the University. Now I work in Digital Divide Data Organization. This is the
first job for me. At my office I have so generous director and three kind
managers. We have fresh water to drink and the place is comfortable to work.
Anyway I have a chance to read the newspaper which had written in
1882, and I am able to learn many new programs on the computer. And other
thing, if we are not well the Organization will help us to pay medical bills,
and the Organization will help us by providing English teacher to teach us one
hour a day.
I think this job will give me a security and happiness in the future. I have
been successful in my first dream and I hope that I will have a chance for my
second dream in the future.
