From the threat of child labor to the front of the classroom, how Borann achieved her dream.

Bun Boran, a female Literacy Program Teacher from Angkanh Village in Siem Reap Province, lives with her family of seven. Her mother is a grocery seller, and her father is a carpenter. Despite facing challenges like low confidence, limited family support, and barriers to education, she transformed her life through the support of Food for the Hungry (FH). The FH sponsorship program provided her with self-assurance, skills in classroom management, and the courage to lead. Now, Boran teaches both children and adults, advocates for community development through education, and raises awareness about sanitation and children’s rights. Grateful for FH’s impact, she hopes to pursue university education and make further contributions to her community.
