Hi, I'm Yongcha
I'm a girl, 12 years old and live in Cambodia.
Yongcha was selected through the recommendation from her village chief. She belongs to a very poor family in the community. She has not sufficient food to eat and lacks in proper education.
Her physical and mental health was fine upon enrollment.
Yongcha lives with her father and older brother. This family lives in a small house 4x5m made of wood with zinc roof. They do not have land for growing rice. Her mother left home to work in Phnom Penh when Yongcha was 4 years old, and then she had a new boyfriend there, so she never visited home and remarried with new husband without getting divorced with her father. Her father takes care of children alone; he is hired to remove the potato, and earns USD 5 a day, but it is not regular. Her brother is a student in 8th grade at secondary school. The family lives in a difficult situation, lacking of foods, rice and money to support their children. Therefore, Yongcha needs sponsorship in order to support her education.
