This
young lady comes from one of the poor communes in Phuoc Son District. All five family members live in a small house
made of bricks with a corrugated iron roof. Currently her father works as a
farmer to feed the family because her mother has recently given birth. She will
work again as a food seller when her new child is old enough to go to infant care. She said her parents
worked very hard with planting paper trees on their poor quality field on the
mountain and they raise chickens. However, bad weather conditions and slow growth
of the trees mean her family have an unstable income. Moreover, her father has
not yet paid off the bank loan of US$1,500. The father has to work not only to
support the family and but also to pay interest every month.
No matter
how difficult life is her father is very happy and feels lucky to have a good and
obedient daughter like her. Not only is she a fair student with a 7.9/10 average,
but she also saves money for buying her study materials. During the school year she lives away from home and near her school. She works as a tutor
for her host’s daughter in exchange for free accommodation. In addition,
she is very creative as she likes making some simple toys with plastic bottles,
paper and dried flowers in her free time.
She hopes
she will receive a scholarship as she wishes to have money to buy books and
attend extra tuition classes in her worst subjects. She has a dream of being a Primary
School Teacher, and she optimistically believes that she will pass the entrance
exams into a Pedagogy University.
A scholarship
for two years will be supportive in leading her to the stage of applying to
university and making her dream come true.
US$150 a year scholarship
