Peung is an 18-year-old girl, who lives with her family in Pak Song,
a small village near Phato. Peung studies economy. Peung's father
is very ill after an accident and can not provide his family with
money anymore. Therefor the family can not pay for Peung's study.
The foundation takes care of her monthly costs at school (dormitory,
food, books, computer-use and college fee) as well as her weekly
trip home for the weekend. This will allow her to finish her education
in economics. She has two more years to go until her graduation,
after which she will be able to get a good job and support both
her parents as well as her two younger brothers financially.
At the moment Peung is doing very well, she has to work hard to
get the right grades but she is getting there. This summer holiday
