Hi, I'm TRA
I'm a girl, 7 years old and live in Vietnam.
Tra’s family is a poor household in their community. She lives with her father, an older sister (11 years old) who dropped out of school two years ago due to weak schooling results, and an older brother (9 years old) who studies grade three, and Tra is the youngest child. Her mother left the family in 2018 and she has not contacted them since then. The father is being treated for psychosis at a local mental hospital due to alcoholism. He works in gardens and earns 4 USD per working day. Tra’s grandparents live near their house, they take care of the kids and drive them to school. However, the grandparents are also poor, so the kids face big risks of malnutrition and dropping out school. Hence, local authority referred this child to Holt for educational support.
