"At 19, I had to leave my family and live abroad (her husband's first posting was Cairo) and start a whole new life for which I had not been trained. I plunged right into it and I learnt to cope by looking, listening and talking to people. Most of the people I met were much older and they tell me, 'Oh, you're just a child' but they were helpful and guided me along the way." - Amne Salim, April 30, 1980
