Portrait: Little Pheakdey
Pheakdey joined the Shanty Town Spirit program
when he was 8 years old. When we first met him, he and his younger brother were
under the care of his elderly grandmother as his parents were away working in
Thailand.

Thanks to the sponsorship of a donor, Pheakdey attends school
and his elderly grandmother stopped collecting rubbish as a means of income
because we were able to give her a monthly allowance. She used to spend all day
collecting plastic bottles to earn a minuscule 10 cents for every kilogram.
Supreme Burger restaurant, based in Phnom Penh, offers 20 percent of their takings each Wednesday to support our program. Pheakdey and Shanty Town Spirit are very grateful for this ongoing generous support.
Recently, Pheakdey’s grandmother passed away and we paid for her
funeral. His parents have since returned home along with a new little sister.
They continue to work while we sponsor Pheakdey’s education. He continues to try very hard with his studies and be a good boy for his parents and protector to his infant sister.
