“I want to leave the street life because I hope to change my life.” This is the feeling of Heng.

In the village where we serve, many adults pick up different bad habits, including gambling, drinking, etc. It is very difficult to help the adults to have changes. On the contrary, the children are like a blank sheet of paper: as long as they are taught well, they can learn the correct values. We are grateful that one of the girls, Punler, is driven to work hard for her future with hope to climb out of poverty.

Why did a youngster who previously kept running away from Metta's guidance, refusing help and change, now often persuades the centre's children not to return to the streets? Why did he make such a change?
