To what extent do parents in some countries go to provide their children with an education?
All children should receive a quality education, but the United Nations estimates that over 60 million children are not attending school.
This happens because many parents do not have enough funds to provide them with an education.
In some countries, many children have to earn their own food from a young age.
They simply don’t have time to attend educational institutions.
They need to help their parents manage their business or do some work themselves.
Some children have younger siblings who need care, and the parents are constantly busy with work.
Not long ago, a Cambodian teacher decided to show what one of his students’ backpack looked like.
The father made it himself for his son. But he didn’t do it out of a passion for embroidery; he simply didn’t have the money to buy it.
It turns out that some parents give everything they have so that their children can live and study.
They work day and night, support their children in their efforts, and try to provide them with at least some education.
One parent became famous for photographing his efforts.
The child’s mother said that where they lived, the price of a simple backpack was about 30,000 riel, which is approximately 7 US dollars.
But NY Keng’s father was a simple farmer; he didn’t have enough funds for such an expense.
Yet, he wanted his son to have his own school bag, so he decided to make it himself.
The man used leftover raffia, from which he wove the boy’s backpack.
After the photo of this bag was published, it became extremely popular on social media.
People admired the man’s talent and his desire to give his son the best opportunities.
The teacher also thanked the father for such a gift to his son.
After that, there were enough people who decided to help the needy family.
