Hi, I'm Phearun
I'm a boy, 4 years old and live in Cambodia.
Phearun was enrolled in the community preschool by his parents. His age was right for schooling and his parents believed that going to school could help him prepare well for grade 1. This family lives in their own house (6x7 meters) made of wood and they have land for growing rice as well. Phearun lives with his parents, a grandmother, and two brothers. He is the last child in the family. His father is a farmer. His mother is a cleaner, and earns 120$ a month. His grandmother is old, she cannot do anything. His older brother dropped out of school in 9th grade and he stays at home, and another one is studying in 3rd grade at primary school. This family has sufficient food to eat and is better financially, but their children lack proper education because the public school is far from home. That is why they would like Phearun to study at a community preschool nearby, which is supported by Holt-International.
