a child in Mongolia creates art, thanks to donor support for education!

You provided the educational support he needed for his disability. Now, he’s blossoming into quite the artist!

Six-year-old Esen couldn’t hold a crayon in his hand when he arrived at kindergarten in Mongolia, Esen has cerebral palsy and using fine motor skills was a big challenge, making eating, drawing and moving around independently difficult. He would often cry and get easily frustrated…

But because of sponsors and donors like you, Esen received the special education support he needed. And things changed drastically!

His teachers provided proper support for his disability, and Esen gained the confidence and encouragement he needed to thrive. Through school lunch and feeding support, he received the nutrients his body needed and — with hard work — he learned how to hold a spoon on his own! His appetite, immune system and overall development have improved dramatically!

Through your support for Holt’s educational programs, Esen received the guidance and care that made all the difference. His motor skills have improved so much that he has become quite the artist! He once struggled to hold a pencil — now he colors vivid shapes and drawings with crayons. He is such a creative, cheerful little boy! Thank you for helping Esen rise to his fullest potential.
