Aziza's Welcomes 21st Resident, Linna

The children and staff of Aziza’s Place welcomed six year old Linna to the program in mid-August. Linna had been living a vulnerable life on the streets of central Phnom Penh, without the opportunity to attend school. She helped make a way for herself and family by begging for money on the streets. Linna’s bold attitude, witty humor, and affectionate hugs have won over friends and staff alike. She is now relishing in her curiosity typing away on her XO laptop, sketching on her art pad, and participating in Karate and dance. She is anxious to begin first grade this month and don the public school uniform she has always coveted! Linna has already shown progress in reading and writing the Khmer and English alphabets. As the youngest resident at AP we are looking forward to watching Linna grow and obtain the knowledge she needs to define her own future.
