your support will transform their future…
“I felt cared for and I felt warm inside as I knew that someone somewhere loves me and that someone needs me, so I will become a teacher at an orphanage to show the same love and care I felt here to children who are in same situations as me.” Tuul
Tuul will continue to be supported by Asral to attend university next year
