Testimony of Noun Sophanith

...in his own words

"My name is Noun Sophanith, I am 13 years old. I came from the slum area of Phnom Penh, I have five siblings and I am the third in my family. I am orphaned and currently living with my grandma and grandpa. Our family is so poor and because of that, I have no chance to go to school just like other kids do.

noun graduate

My father and mother have died when I was young. Life without parents just like a car without steer. I have to go out to the streets and be free and scavenging rubbish, shine shoes, perform other jobs as required of earning money for me. I met a lot of friends out there just the same age as mine. They
introduced me to inhaling glue and I allowed that in my life. I thought it was feeling very happy inhaling glue.

After a little while, I was brought to a program of World Vision, Bamboo Shoot project. There, they fed me, schooling me, and teaching all the good ways to take. It didn’t take me so long to stay there and I ran back home and just going to the street again, doing whatever I am free to do.

Until December, 2009, I was helped by my former Bamboo Shoot project where I used to live with before, helping me to the Teen Challenge program. They thought that I am fit with this program.

At the Teen Challenge they ministered to me. They counseled me, and help me to realize the dangerous path I was walking down, helped me to start taking responsibility for my life and find a good pathway to becoming a constructive member of society. They taught me all the different skills, so that I can help myself when I graduate from the program, and another important thing is that they introduced me to God, and it is God who changed me.

The more time I spent at Teen Challenge the stronger my faith in Jesus grew and now I am graduated from the program and sent to live with Hagar program. There, they promised me to school and my daily food.

I want to thank Teen Challenge and all their partners for helping me get clean and for this new life I have. Thank you Teen Challenge!"
