Boon Hock's Story


Me

"My name is Lau Boon Hock and I'm currently studying in Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan (Cina) Jinjang Utara. At home, I live with my mother, grandfather and my 2 siblings. My father ran away a little after I was born and my mother has been looking after us since until recently she had a stroke. She currently can't move much.

I used to ace my exams and always maintained good grades in school. It was when everything went down at home that I realised I do not have the energy throughout the day and started failing in my exams. Due to me failing unexpectedly, my teacher, Ms Tracy paid a visit to my house and eventually found out what was happening at home.

She then decided to sign me up on the breakfast programme from The Budimas Charitable foundation. Since then, I look forward to go to school every day to have my first meal of the day. My favourite is always the Nasi Lemak. Without realising it, I started to pick up on my studies and also began to have interest in sports too.
