QUOTES
"Courage
means to brave intimidation in order to do something for the people."
We
need to strengthen the people.
Sometimes
I have been very dispirited. But if we disappear, we leave the door open to all
kinds of abuse. So I say to my colleagues, “Don’t be too ambitious. If you look
at all the problems in Cambodia at once, you cannot work. Like you build a house,
you build it brick by brick. If one day you save only one victim, be happy for
a day. The next day, save two.” Some days we save 10, 20, 100 or 200.” So I say,
“Don’t look for quantity, look for quality. It will take a long time to advance
human rights, but keep moving.” When I save a child or a woman, I’m happy, because
I remember the little girl of seven I was. It’s a reward for me to see the new
generation of advocates. They are our future. I am very proud of them.
