Former sponsored child Phanet, 19, now teaches fifth grade in the same rural Cambodian classroom where she once studied.

Eyes that shine again
Fatima arrived at a malnutrition stabilization center carrying her 9-month-old son, Hamed, who was dangerously underweight. For six days, she stayed by his side as he received emergency care. With no water available at the clinic, her other children walked 45 minutes each way to collect what they could from the valley. Hamed slowly regained strength and was transferred to outpatient care, where he now receives therapeutic food and regular checkups. His cheeks are full again, and his weight has climbed back into a healthy range.
