Mid Oct 2008

O recently visited Bah Hiya at her home in Kan, where she lives with her grandson Mai. Bah Hiya is 63 years old and works as a cook at a nearby school, often working 7 days a week. She has a minimal monthly income with which she has to pay rent and provide for herself and Mai. Her husband who was a cycle-rickshaw driver died recently. Her grandson Mai is 15 years old and attends a local school. O has provided Bah Hiya with assistance to help meet the costs of Mai’s schooling for the coming school term.
