Hi, I'm Lyheng
I'm a boy, 10 years old and live in Cambodia.
The child is introduced by a social worker. His parents went to Thailand to work and earn some money to support the family. The job became unstable since the explosion of Covid-19. They don’t earn enough to support the family in Cambodia. The grandmother is old and she stays home to look after the children. She raises the chicken and the frog for selling. But it is not enough. The child needs support to attend the school.
The child is in good physical condition. He had a cold or a fever once in a while. He was recovered by taking medicine from the village healthcare.
The child lives in a big family. There are 6 members in the family. The grandmother doesn’t possess a house for her and her grandchildren. She lives on the side of her son-in law’s house because her house was burnt down by accident years ago. She earns little income by raising the chicken and the frog. Due to lack of needs, the grandchildren and she had to go out to the rice field and caught fish, crabs, snails and picked the vegetables on the way home to cook for meal. The parents who work in Thailand are in debt, so they couldn’t send money to support the children regularly. The child needs support to keep going to school.
