Girl #34 - Srey Huy

Sponsor: The Shana Alexander Foundation

Location of the school: The Sapporo Acasia Lions Club, village Kor Hoksep, Trapaing Chress commune, Koun Mom district, Ratanakiri province

Girl student: Heng Srey Huy is thirteen years old. She was at the fourth grade. She stoped to go to school last year, 2005. She was the best student in her class.

Why we are sponsoring the girl: Huy has three brothers. Her father, Hong Kim Heng, 45 years old and her mother, Choub San, 32 years old. They do not have any plot of land for field rice. They are working as workers for getting a daily income. They do not earn enough money. The house where they are living belongs to their relatives.

Srey Huy must help her parents to do any works in the village. Now the parents and Huy understand well about the interest of the EDUCATION. Huy wishes to return to her class and their parents have agreed to support their daughter to attend school.

Support: We pay the parents $10 a month for perfect attendance.
