Unable to go to school Child, now I have become a child who dreams of being first

Ratanakiri WECA, Chantrier's story

Panam Village, Rattanakiri, Cambodia. In a quiet place surrounded by the Sesan River and fields Tat Chantrier (2011.10.09 / CAM-Ratana-020)​ I am raising six siblings while farming.

It takes about an hour by motorcycle from Chantrier's house to school. During the rainy season, the roads turned into mud, causing many falls and injuries. For Chantri, who grew up speaking the Khlung language, Cambodian was her second language, and she only attended school for three years for a total of about a month.

New learning starting from With Home

October 2024 Chantrier is Ratanakiri WECA With Home I entered a new beginning. I lowered my grade and started studying again from the second grade of elementary school, and after 3 to 4 months, I started reading and writing Cambodian characters.

At first, I was embarrassed to study with friends younger than my peers, but I wanted to learn more. It was big. My grades, which were 20th to 30th, began to rise little by little, and in March of this year, I shyly said.

“I came in 3rd place.”

and finally at the end of the 4th grade1st place award

Last year, when his mother said, “If you don’t want to study, come home and take care of your younger siblings,” Chantrier replied: 0);">“I don’t want to study. I want to be a school teacher.”

The child who had difficulty even going to school dreams of his future. There is.

Staying by your friends' side Ai

Jantrier suffered from severe damage to one of his eardrums due to an ear disease he had as a child not being treated in time. However, he looks out for his friends around him more than his own difficulties. We listen to and comfort our friends who are having a hard time, and when something happens at With Home, we step forward before anyone else. At school, he is trusted by his friends enough to serve as class president.

The potential of a child who was like a rough gem is now slowly becoming a shining jewel.

Holding out a hand when a child tries to stand up. That touch changes the child's today and creates tomorrow's dream.

WECA, the World Educational Cultural Aid, will work with Chantreo to continue learning and one day grow into a teacher who teaches children like his dream.

"Jantri, who had difficulty even going to school, now receives a first-place certificate and talks about his dream of becoming a teacher. This is a change brought about by the child's potential and the warm hands of sponsors who believed in that potential.

The World Educational Cultural Aid helps children not to give up on learning and their dreams because of the environment they were born in. We will continue to work together to help children grow beyond today's growth to achieve their dreams and grow into people who spread hope to other children. We sincerely thank our sponsors who believe in each child's potential and accompany us.."
