As a member of COPE Team, I am happy that my work is contributing to helping people with disabilities. I know first-hand what difference such help can make in someone’s life, because I am living with a physical disability myself. I had polio when I was a child, and without the crutches and wheelchair I was given, without the support and encouragement I received from my family, and rehabilitation staff at Center for Medical Rehabilitation, I would never have been able to go to school, then university, find such an interesting job, get married and have two wonderful daughters. Whether I work on setting administrative procedures, finalizing COPE’s monthly accounts, dealing with auditors or ensuring COPE’s compliance to donors’ regulations, I know that what I am doing is contributing to helping people like me move one. It is such an incredible motivation to work.
Metta joined COPE in April 2014 as Finance Manager. In November 2014, she was promoted to Finance and Admin Manager. Metta supervises a team of two: Ms. Vilayvone Sivongxay (Vone), Finance Assistant, and Soukpaseuth Phomphakdy (Souk), Office Coordinator.
