Dear donors of the PEACH Foundation: Greetings! I am a freshman in high school, currently studying at Yanyuan Town Minzu Secondary School. My family has faced a lot of hardships, and my teacher said you are able to provide support to families in poverty. Therefore I’m submitting this application. Let me tell you a bit more about my family conditions: My family lives in Shuwen Town, Guanfang Village. There are four members in my family: my father, my mother, my brother and myself. Our house is made of soil. It’s not beautiful to look at but it is enough to shelter us. My parents are both farmers. Most of our income comes from farming and largely depends on our crop harvest.

I am 16 years old and I live in Rosado which is a village of Tobati where I live with my four siblings and my parents. I am the oldest of all the children. In my free time I work with my father in the artisan shop to help him support our family. When I am older I would like to be a professional of some sort. These days it is very difficult without a title to obtain a good job and enjoy life. I want to have a good job because I have been poor my entire life and I know how hard it is to raise a family like this. When I am finished I think I may want to be a dentist. I enjoy studying at the Institute because the education is more advanced and complete. In addition, the professors are very responsible, professional and demanding and I like that. I live 3km from the Institute and I walk there and back everyday, twice a day. When I return I home I complete all of my homework due for the next day. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ About Tobatà :Tobatà is both a town and a provincial district w...
