Hi, I'm Phuong
I'm a boy, 5 years old and live in Vietnam.
Nguyen Minh Phuong was born in 2018 in a difficult circumstance family with four children. His father is drug addicted so his mother is the main labor of the family. The main income of 6 members is based on cultivating 360 m2 of rice fields which gives them approximately 200 pounds of rice per six months. Besides, the mother works for hire as a sewing worker to earn about 200 UD dollars per month. At the beginning of the school year, they have to pay school stationery and fees for his older brother born in 2015, his older sister born in 2012, and his younger brother born in 2021 the amount of 120 US dollars for whole year. With tight income, the children's basic needs are not met and they don't have money to pay for school meals for Phuong. Knowing about their circumstance, Holt-VN supported the family with a fixed amount of money to pay for school meals at his kindergarten for him from September 2023.
