Ly Sieng Ngo: Quilting Peace

This is the story of Ly Sieng Ngo, a native Cambodian and now a resident of Seattle, Washington. Ly Sieng was born into a privileged Chinese-Cambodian family all of whom became victims of Pol Pot's "Killing Fields." The text that follows tells of Ly Sieng's life and is further illustrated with a video she graciously filmed with psychologist Sally Fox and the Voices Technology Director, Otts Bolisay. In 1994 the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation awarded Ly Sieng as a recipient of their Family Health Community Award.

This is her story.
