Hi Marc,
Here is the letter from Bopha who wishes to get the scholarship from 100friends.
----------------------------------------------------------------
My name is Toem Bopha. I am 17 years old. I was born in Ampil Village, Mream Commune, Romeas Hek District, Svay Rieng Province. I come from a farmer family, and I have 7 members in my family, I have a Grandma, a Father, a Mother, two older Sister and a Younger Brother. My father is a construction worker, and my mother is a farmer. Nowadays I live in a rent room with my Aunt at QMI Market, Phnom Penh City, to study at university.
Because there are many family members and unstable income, my parents are having a hard time paying for my school fees until I graduated.
Despite our financial difficulties, I am committed to my education; I attend university every morning and work every afternoon. My ultimate goal is to complete my degree in Public Administration to have a chance become a police officer, allowing me to serve my community and support my family.
Why I Want a Scholarship, because first, the family's financial situation is unstable, second, my family has many members, which makes the cost of children's education a huge pressure for parents. If I get this scholarship, my parents will no longer have to worry about earning money to pay for school and will be able to use that money to support the lives of my family and other members.
I promise that if I receive this scholarship, I will try to study to the best of my ability so as not to disappoint my sponsor, who gave me this valuable opportunity.

Here is the breakdown of what she needs for the scholarship.
1. University for one year : 600$
2. Transportation, study material, and some living expend 1400$
TOTAL : 2000$ for 2026
In return, she will volunteer to help with kindergarten or English class before she gets her full time job.
Thank you very much,
Ly An
