A day with Guha

Published: 09 April 2009

  1. Many positive changes are happening in Guha’s remote mountain home because of child sponsorship.
  2. Guha’s parents hope he can do well in school and find a good job so he’ll have a better life.
  3. In the evening Guha sits beside the fire and diligently completes his homework.
  4. Guha loves horses and for fun he pretends to ride the family pigs.
  5. At home Guha helps with chores; lighting a fire, collecting water and feeding the animals.
  6. After class, Guha plays marbles with his classmates. They all end up covered in dust.
  7. The diet in Guha’s community is basic but nutritious; potatoes, buckwheat, oats and rice.
  8. 56 students attend Guha’s school, which is a simple concrete building with one classroom.
  9. After breakfast, Guha walks to school along a winding mountain track, hands in pockets to keep him warm.
  10. Guha shares breakfast with his family. At this altitude it’s hard to grow food so they buy it from the local market.

Life is tough in the remote mountains of Yongsheng County, China. But since World Vision started working in his community, Guha and his family have experienced many positive changes.

Let's talk about it

He seems a tough little fellow making the most of the education and help he is receiving, makes me appreciate what I take for granted.

He seems happy and healthy in the home environment and he seems to have fun at school with his friends.
