Student Spotlight – Pov Yuhan

BSI has witnessed numerous high school graduates move on to the college level. We would like to shine the spotlight on one student who recently graduated. Yuhan (left) joined our program 5 years ago and worked endlessly throughout high school eventually graduating and gaining acceptance into a university. He is now a first-year student at Norton University located on the north side of Phnom Penh. His goal and dream as a first-year student is to become a civil engineer. Yuhan is the first in his family to attend college and he is a very hardworking student who studies at the break of dawn and into the mid-afternoon using any free time that he has to focus on his studies and when he’s not in school or helping out his family he loves to fish with his father. He hopes to get a part-time job while attending school to help with the finances because his father is currently unemployed. His mother is the sole breadwinner and is countlessly working and providing for this family of 4 people. He has one brother, Pov Punlar (right) who is currently in school and who is also assisted by a sponsor. Every day is a struggle for Yuhan to attend school but his relentless hard working spirit pushes him to never stop and to carry on each day. He hopes to achieve his goal of graduating college and taking care of his family. We at BSI are very inspired by his journey and accomplishments thus far. As he continues navigating college we ask for your prayers to help lift him up with regards to his family situation and graduating college. We are very proud of how far he’s come and the future that he’s building.
