CARTAGENA, Colombia (AlertNet)- As a little girl, Kosal Song often helped her mother collect firewood near her village in Cambodia. Then, aged five, a landmine exploded and she lost her right leg.
Since the accident 20 years ago, Song has had to rely on support from her family and international non-governmental organisations (NGOs), who have provided prosthetic legs and sponsored her schooling and university English degree.
"I couldn't have survived without their help and my family," she told AlertNet at a major landmine conference in Cartagena, Colombia.
