Children in Holt's child sponsorship program love to thank their sponsors with letters and drawings. Here's a drawing from a 4-year-old boy in Cambodia.

Kunthong is a friendly little boy who lives with his parents, grandparents and older sister in Cambodia. His parents and grandparents are farmers and are able to grow enough rice and vegetables to feed the family. They also raise some animals.

But Kunthong’s parents did not have the extra funds needed to send him to preschool — until his Holt sponsors stepped in! Now, thanks to your support, Kunthong wakes up early each day and attends school from 7 a.m. to 10:30 am. While at school, Kunthong is learning to count up to 25 and write a few numerals, and he enjoys listening to the fairy tales his teacher reads to the class. He also loves to sing.

Kunthong is said to be a happy and smiling child, who gets along well with his classmates and shares his snacks with them. Outside of school, he and his friends like to play with toy cars and engage in imaginary games, where Kunthong pretends to be a police officer. He enjoys eating porridge and milk and rice with palm sugar. His favorite color is blue!

Kunthong is grateful to his sponsors for providing him with the support he needs to attend school. To thank them, he created this drawing of a beautiful landscape near his home!
