Back to School Report – Bun Ren’s Story

Location: Trapang Chorng Village- Commune, Bakan District, Pursat Province.

Bun Ren is 13 year-old-boy, who studies in grade 3 at Trapang Chorng primary school. His father was died by unknown sickness since 2005. Since then, his mother left him to be a worker at another place and she also has a new husband.

Now Bun Ren lives with his grandparents. His grandpa is 77 years old, grandma is 67 years old. His grandpa cannot do anything because he is too old and his grandma is hired to wash clothes, transplant rice seeding for her neighbor.

Actually, Bun Ren has stopped studying for two years. When he was in grade 2 in 2006, his grandmother asked him to stop studying since she couldn’t afford him to school and she wanted him to help her work.

Thanks God, CBN has found his case and put him under Back to School project, so that he can continue his studying in grade 3.

He said he was very happy that he can continue his studying. He hopes that he will get a high education and a better life in the future.
