Hi, I'm Van
I'm a girl, 4 years old and live in Vietnam.
Van's family is one of families with difficult circumstance in the area. Van currently lives with her mother, grandparents, and an older sister, 5 years old. Her father works in the commune's militia. He has been sent to college as a job requirement so he currently lives far from home and cannot support his wife to feed his children and parents. He returns home once a month for visiting his family. Van's grandparents are 70 years old and receive a small pension of war invalids from government. Currently, Van's mother is the sole breadwinner in the family. She sells rice and spring rolls and earns about $ 220 dollars per month. With such low and unstable income, she cannot afford to cover the family living expenses of six people. Therefore, the local authorities referred this case to Holt Vietnam for help. The family recently received a small amount of capital to support the mother in selling sugarcane juice.
