Ha Thi Tuyet Dung
Dung (13 years) is the second girl born in a family of three daughters. Their mother passed away three years ago from a heart attack. Not long after her mother’s death, her father remarried and left the girls with their elderly grandmother. He gave up all responsibility, leaving them with nothing. Dung’s grandmother supports herself by raising ducks, but does not have enough money to support Dung and her two sisters. As a result Dung’s older sister had to stop studying at 9th grade, when she was just 14, to begin working in a ceramics factory earning € 30 per month to help support all four members of the family. Dung and her younger sister want to continue studying very much, but trapped in this situation, Dung did not know what would happen to her and her younger sister.
