Yangkartso, 17, lives with his brother and mother. Her father died due to an accident at work when she was still a child. Her mother then sought jobs so she could continue supporting them and send them to school.
One day, Yangkartso’s brother fainted and was brought to the hospital, where they learned that he has epilepsy. Her mother spent a lot of time taking care of her brother and his medical needs. Her brother’s condition continued to worsen while their financial burden increased, forcing both Yangkartso and her brother to drop out of school.
“I really wanted to go back to school, but I knew that it would be difficult for my family especially my mother,” Yangkartso shared.
“Now, I am living my dream in studying Pre-school Teaching. My main subjects are theory of teaching, general psychology, child development psychology, music and dance. I made good progress on my academic performance this semester. I participated in the campus song and dance competition and won an excellent award this semester.
I like campus life very much. Every day is memorable. I chose this profession since I have always had a dream of being a qualified teacher. Because of your support, I am getting closer to my dream. I cherish this opportunity.”
Thank you to the amazing support of Zuru who fund 50% of this life-changing program.

This month [July 2017], three girls from Project Eden who have been studying at the School of Electronics and Technology of Dongguan, have finished all their school-based courses and will be starting a one-year internship after this summer on-track to graduate in June 2018. Through the Captivating Project Eden schooling program, we have been thrilled to see their growth and development over the years thanks to lots of hard work by them, as well as amazing support from the team at Project Eden. Our thanks also to their dedicated sponsors and supporters, and of course Dockpo and the SGVTS team where the girls first got their chance at a new life several years ago now. We hope you enjoy Dechen's story:
