My name is Srey-Vee and I am a 16 year old girl. I live in the poor part of town with my Mother (Sree) and my four siblings of which only one is younger (his name is Own and he also attends the New Start School). When I was a baby my Father died and my Mother re-married (but now they're separated).
We used to be really poor, but Heartland has helped us a lot and now my Mum even has a job as a Cleaner and a Cook at the Provincial Governor’s House, so things are a little easier now. My favourite colour is red, and when we have a holiday from school I enjoy visiting new places and new people.
Before I came to the New Start School I never even thought about the future, but now I have a hope and a future because of Jesus, He has changed my life. I love coming to school, as I have many friends here and I think my teacher is fantastic. In the future I would love to open up my own hair salon. I'm so excited about this I spend all my free time training with my neighbour who is a hairdresser and teaches me without charging.
