Care also needs to find the part-time job after school to help earn more income but the problem is her little brother is still too young and needs someone to take care after school. Therefore, Care and her little brother always go straight home after school and do all the house hold chores for her dad. Many times that the sister and brother have to sleep with empty stomach because no money left in the house to afford any foods.
Care told us about her dream for better future that “I am not sharp and my academic performance is not that good comparing to other classmates. My dad always teaches me to study harder but I do not obey him. Until one day, we have nothing to eat and starving, so, I realize the importance of education. Now, I decide to restart my life by concentrating more on my study and obey my dad and teachers. I dream to be a teacher so that I could help teach other less fortunate students just like me.”
EDF strongly hopes that Care's story could well represent the “Hope” and “Dream” for better future of other 2,531 less fortunte students that still awaiting for scholarship support in this school year 2014.
