Nhung’s father passed away shortly after her birth, so her mother has struggled alone to ensure Nhung can receive a proper education. Despite the absence of her father, Nhung is fortunate to be surrounded by her loving and caring mother. Unfortunately, her mother has been diagnosed with Stage 4 cervical cancer. All available resources are being used for her mother’s cancer treatment, including daily medication to prolong her life. At present, Nhung and her mother live with her grandparents.
To help support the living expenses and cover her mother’s medicines, she works part-time after school.
When talking with us. Nhung admitted sometimes she resented her life, fearing that her mother could pass away at any moment. Nhung has considered dropping out of school to work, but her mother has encouraged her to persevere. As a result, Nhung now aspires to study Nursing, aiming to secure a stable job and be able to take care of other patients who are like her mother.
Parents are divorced, 2 children live with their mother, the mother’s health is weak, she works as a hired laborer but cannot pay for her 2 children’s education. 2 children have to work part-time to pay for their own meals, accommodation, and school fees. The situation is very difficult.
“My shoes on the field – your shoes to school” is an association football tournament for companies and benefactors. It is held by the Be Better Foundation with the purpose of raising fund to buy shoes for poor students in remote areas.
Every day in highland and remote areas, hundreds and thousands of children require eating, studying, and growing up to be good people who benefit society.
“Living in the city all these years, I cannot not imagine that poverty is still harshly present in such remote places. There are places where children do not have enough food to eat, their parents can only dig into the ground and in their garden for something edible to feed their children to school.”
Be Better Foundation implements the campaign to build a book library for poor students in remote areas with the hope that “Books will inspire them to have a dream”, “a dream that can change a life”, ”Changing one child’s life will change many generations in the future”
The long-term scholarship program “Bring children to school” which supports financing tuition fees and living expenses for students with extremely difficult circumstances is the core and continuous program of Be Better Foundation.
