Aosak was the Mustard Seed Mission’s sponsored child since 2018. He has been supported since 10th grade. He came from a very disadvantaged family near Phnom Penh. He did not perform well at school until he was supported by the children sponsorship program.
In spring 2021 he started his university in NPIC-National Poly Technic Institute of Cambodia, becoming the first in his family to study in university. During the pandemic, the school was closed and students had to study on their own. He struggled but still studies hard.
He has a clear goal for his future. He wants to have a high education so that he would have a well-paid job for supporting his family. He studies so hard as he wants to improve his family living condition.

After the easing of COVID-19 restrictions, schools across the country began to reopen in February in Nepal. Nepal has fully vaccinated 66.4% of the population that includes students and children aged 12 and above. It has reported more than 1 confirmed million coronavirus cases and 11,951 deaths since the pandemic began. (2022-April) For a college student we serve in Nepal, she has begun her first year in college. With excitement and being supported, the freshman stably walks towards her goal.
As for Cambodia, another country the Mustard Seed Mission serves, schools are reopened on January 2022. According to a latest finding from the UNICEF ( United Nations Children's Fund), “compared to the last equivalent learning assessment in 2016, the percentage of students who failed to demonstrate basic proficiency increased from 34 percent to 45 percent in Khmer language and from 49 percent to 74 percent in mathematics," the statement said. A Cambodian boy we serve becomes a freshman this year. The new life is now a chance for him to purchase his dream.

Poverty is ranked the number one issue among the top six root causes why children cannot continue to receive education in South Asian countries. To improve resources and increase the chances for education access are two most important factors to ultimately help children learn skills for living. As a result, they will enhance their abilities to obtain more job opportunities in the future, and be able to detach themselves from poverty.
Sonam, the teaching staff member, was also a sponsored college student before. After receiving a degree in public health, she returned to the organization of the children's center to engage in health and hygiene related work. In this course, everyone will be receiving a sanitary bag, which contains sanitary underwear, cloth sanitary napkins, towels, sanitary products, etc.
In South Asian countries, schools are gradually opened recently. We will continue to accompany velnerable students in Asia to pursue higher education.
