“There are 3 people in my family, my mother, a twin brother, and I. My father has passed away. I only have my mother. Every day, my mother picks the wild vegetable around the village and sells them to earn some money for family expense. She would keep some vegetable for us to eat. Some days she goes to cut the rubber trees in the rubber tree farming."

"I have spent some of my scholarship money on purchasing my sport gear, outfits and shoes. I’ve used the old one for a long time. It’s very old. The first day when I wore the new outfit and shoes, I was very excited. I also got more sport gears from kind sponsor. I am very happy because my brother and I love to play table tennis together. We will also share the gifts with the neighbor kids, too. Thank you very much.”
