Ma Shone Let Wai was born in Min Ta Township, Chin state, which is a very poor part of Burma.Her father works selling vegetables but makes very little money and the family are very poor. Shone has three brothers and sisters and was brought to Phaung Daw Oo Monastic Home and School by her aunt as her parents couldn’t travel from Min Ta and her aunt was keen for her to have a good education. Now she is living at Phaung Daw Oo and attending school every day.She is studying in grade 7 and her teacher says she is making good progress. She is a very outgoing child and has made plenty of friends with both day pupils and other permanent live-in children. Sadly her parents are not able to visit her as the cost of travel and very poor roads in Chin state make it almost impossible. |
