Children Without a Mother

There was a family with three members: a father,mother, and daughter. Both the husband and wife worked as caterers. After the earthquake, however, there was a new twist: the mother had an affair. Although she loved her daughter very much, she left her husband and three-year-old child, Sovana Shrestha. Now there was only the father and child.

The father wanted to care for his daughter but did not know how. I suggested that he put her into a school, but he didn’t have the money for admission. His financial condition was very bad. He wanted to search for asponsor to help his child study and brighten his future, but he did not know how to do this. When the father met me and found out I worked for an NGO, he shared all his hopes and feelings.
