Hi, I'm Thien
I'm a boy, 12 years old and live in Vietnam.
Thien receives daycare services provided by the Kianh Center which provides special education and physical therapy for the development of children with disabilities. Holt International provides financial assistance to all children in care there. Thien was diagnosed with inborn cataract that had been operated, but still caused his poor vision, with also some difficulties in learning. He had tried 4 years studying at a mainstream school, however he always felt behind and being bullied by his peers. Thien was isolated at that school and once was beaten on his head by his peer, that he had to be hospitalized. Thien did not want to go back his school after that accident then he followed his father who was a builder to the site every day, just because there was no one else in his family could care of him during a day long. Thien needs a more suitable study environment to address his special needs, where he could learn, have friendship and fun.
