Personal stories like this really help us to think about the needs in the world, and consider what we can each do to help. I love how this story illustrates that small actions can have big outcomes. A child who is an overlooked and unloved little girl today could be the scientist who develops the life-saving scientific breakthrough of tomorrow. Or figures out how to create world peace, or solve world hunger... or make a difference in the lives of other unwanted children.

This is what Mey-Yii's village, and even her own mother and grandmother fail to see. She is what they literally call a throwaway child 😢
Hopefully she won't think of herself that way, and will know that she can do anything she is inspired to do. Luckily she does have a neighbor there who cares about her, which is how I heard her story. There must be countless kids out there with literally no one :(
