Myagmarsuren grew up living with 11 family members, including his mother and his stepfather. His mother
worked in the market selling second hand clothes and rice. His stepfather also sold goods. Myagmarsuren
never knew his real father; the only father he knew was his stepfather who never liked Myagmarsuren
because he was not his real son. He would often drink and beat Myagmarsuren and his brothers and sisters.
When Myagmarsuren was 11 years old, he moved with his family to where his mother continued
to work very hard selling goods. To help feed his family Myagmarsuren spent his days picking up
bottles and boxes for money. He would work during the day and give the money he had made to his
mother, then return to the streets to sleep. Myagmarsuren's mother died in 2003 in a car accident.
A CEDC (Children in Especially Difficult Circumstances) social worker found Myagmarsuren's
younger brother and asked him if he wanted to enter a World Vision Centre that would feed him
and help him.
He agreed and entered the Day Activity Centre.

He told Myagmarsuren about the centre and they both started going together.
This past summer, he was invited to attend World Vision's
Summer Camp and when he returned he entered Lighthouse Three.
He wants to become a cook in the future.
