Girl student: Na Sienn is a poor girl student in the school. She is eleven years old. She is in the fifth grade. She irregularly went to school.

Why we are sponsoring the girl: Sienn lives with the family, two members: a mother and a sister. Her father was died. Her mother is working as a worker in the hospital. She works as a volunteer staff. She gets a very small amount of the allowance. It is 50000Riels ($12) a month. Sienn does not have enough clothes to go to school. Sometimes the family eats only rice without meat neither vegetable. The family is a small family but their income cannot cover their need.
After the meeting the mother promises that she will send Sienn to attend school with a perfect attendance.

Support: We pay her family $10 a month for perfect attendance.
