After one year, her uncle could not provide for her and he had no time to take care of her. He wanted to bring her to live in an orphanage. When she lived with her uncle, she did not have good food to eat, she had no chance to go to school and she did not have good clothes like the other children.

Phalla Phat was born May 10, 1993. He is now 14 years old. He lived at Kbal Touklour Village, Dom Sangka Commune, Phnom Srouy District, Kampot Province. His father died of an illness. His mother died in an accident. At age 9, he moved to live with an adopted mother after the death of his parents. He didn’t go to school and everyday he had to go and take cows to a place for grazing. The field that he took the cows to was far from his home. One day, the leader of his village told him about an orphanage in Kompong Speu, and he moved there for two years. However, the orphanage lost its sponsors so it had to close. His adopted mother found out about the Vista-Asia's Hope orphanage and brought him there.
Now he has new parents that care for him every day. He has come to believe in Jesus. He thanks God that he can come to this orphanage. He has good food to eat, nice new clothes and he doesn’t have to worry about tomorrow. Thank God!
