Ten-year-old girl dreams of caring for others as doctor.
Shai Me Ching Marma is a cheerful 10-year-old girl from Bandarban with a caring and curious nature. She dreams of becoming a doctor one day so she can help people in her community. She enjoys playing with dolls, wearing her traditional cultural dress, and especially loves the colour white. A packet of biscuits and time to play bring her simple happiness.
She lives with her parents in a family of four. Her father works as a farmer, earning a modest income, while her mother cares for the home and supports her daily routine. Although her family is devoted and supportive, financial limitations can make educational expenses challenging.
Through sponsorship, Shai Me can continue her studies in a safe and encouraging environment. With access to education and steady guidance, she can grow in confidence and move closer to her dream of becoming a compassionate doctor.
