International Literacy Day: En Siev Eng builds a much better life through education
where there is love, there is hope
International Literacy Day can be an possiblity to remind the international community that literacy is really a human right and the reasons for all learning. In Cambodia, the standard and accessibility to primary education is poor. Using the support of SOS Children, En Siev Eng, an 11-year-old girl from Battambang, continues to be in the opportunity to check out school, where jane is looking towards her future.
En Siev Eng is one of six children. Her father is really a taxi driver, and her mother grows vegetables for a job. Her parents were keen because of their daughter as a way to complete her education successfully. Her mother says: "I want my daughter being educated rather than illiterate much like me." However, there's a insufficient colleges in Cambodia, particularly in rural areas, and existing schools are unaffordable for most. En Siev Eng's parents earn approximately US $2.50 per day between them, sufficient reason for all of their outgoings, cannot manage to send En Siev Eng university.
When SOS Children became conscious of the family's situation in 2010, we offered En Siev Eng, and also her five friends and family, scholarship places at the SOS School in Battambang. The scholarships also covered the family's expenses for items like stationary, school uniforms, shoes and bags.
500 children receive an education at the SOS Primary and Twelfth grade in Battambang. The SOS School has 12 classrooms and is renowned for providing a good-quality learning environment. Experienced teachers provide each child with individual attention and monitor their progress. As secondary-level education is especially rare in rural areas in Cambodia, the SOS School offering both primary and secondary education offers a valuable service.
Two years after starting in the SOS School, En Siev Eng and her brothers and sisters still attend regularly. En Siev Eng now ranks fourth of 35 students, up from seventh when she first commenced. Her favorite subjects include English, maths, and information technology and in her sparetime, she enjoys reading books. En Siev Eng claims that when she gets older she would like to get a cpa. She actually is keen to get a reliable and well-paid job, to guide her family.
With the aid of SOS Children, En Siev Eng continues to be due to the chance to learn and today looks forward to a brighter future.
