Ah Jun Has Set His Aspiration to Give Back to Society When He Grow Up

“I want to become a person who knows how to be grateful!" Ah Jun, a ninth-grade student, looks forward to growing up and giving back to society.

Looking back on Ah Jun's past, he grew up in a high-pressure environment since childhood. He had suffered from his father's excessive drinking, mistreatment, and irrational verbal abuse. His mother also endured domestic violence while trying to protect him. After government intervention, he was raised solely by his mother.

Leaving the fearful and intimidating environment, when things were expected to get back on track, Ah Jun's mother was unfortunately diagnosed with breast cancer. She could barely make ends meet with odd jobs, and though her condition temporarily improved, as Ah Jun was about to enter junior high school, the cancer cells had metastasized, requiring prolonged rest and treatment. With no source of income, the substantial medical expenses became a heavy burden. Thanks to The Mustard Seed Mission's children sponsorship program, his family was able to get through tough times.

Ah Jun is remarkably mature and responsible. Apart from taking care of himself, he would accompany his mother to the nearby park for exercise after school or on weekends, maintaining good physical strength to combat the illness. Watching his mother confront life optimistically motivated him to look positively toward his future. At school, he is known as the " caring guy" among teachers. He often goes out of his way to help others, gets along well with peers, and maintains his academic performance above the basic level.

Our social workers regularly provide care and companionship to Ah Jun's family. Through this interaction, they discovered that Ah Jun has a natural talent for electrical assembly. He independently learns repair techniques for household electronics by watching online videos. Ah Jun hopes that when he grows up, he can work as a professional mechanic and work hard to relieve the burden on his mother's shoulders. Despite the challenges of poverty, he possesses a resilient spirit that continues to grow and thrive. Also, he looking forward to more people's support on the road to pursuing his dreams and turning his family life around in the future.
