Sophy Ron has come from abject poverty in Cambodia to land a scholarship at the University of Melbourne.

Through CCF, Ms Ron was able to secure a scholarship to complete a foundation year of study at the University of Melbourne's Trinity College.

She graduated in June, paving the way for her to start a Bachelor of Arts degree when the new semester begins this month. While Ms Ron said she loved life in Melbourne , she hoped to eventually return home to start a business and continue working with CCF. Her uplifting story of transformation has been featured in Cambodia's local media in recent weeks, and Ms Ron said she hoped it encouraged others to donate to charity."I have this message throughout my life journey: a not-giving-up message. It doesn't matter in what circumstances."
