Thailand—My name is Lay Wah Htoo. I’m a sixth-grade student at Sunshine Orchard Learning Center, which is located on the border of Thailand and Myanmar. Many hard things have happened to me.
When I was 2, my dad came home drunk one night. He got into a fight with my mom and burned her alive at midnight while everyone else was asleep. One of my bigger brothers woke up, and took us out of the house.
Following the death of my mother, all of us siblings went to stay with our grandparents. They cared for me until I was 7. Then my siblings went to other places, and God made a way for me to come to Sunshine School.
Even though I’ve had a challenging childhood, God has allowed me to live and serve. I thank Him I’m still alive and can be a light for Him and His work.
