Medallist undaunted by amputated foot
Wed, 27 January 2021
As a healthy seven-year-old boy, Meas Sabun dreamt of becoming a teacher in his home village in Ang Tasom commune about 15km west of the provincial capital, Donkeo.
Unfortunately, his dreams for the future were disrupted by an accident when he was in the second grade that resulted in his foot being amputated.
Sabun recalled the accident that happened to him at seven years old: “I was sitting under the palm trees guarding rice seedlings. Suddenly the bamboo ladder fell and landed on my left foot.
