When I Grow Up I want to be an English translator.

Ja Heh has lived at the orphanage since he was five years old. His father and mother learned about an opium detox program sponsored by the Thailand border patrol and came to Thailand to enroll. After a month, they disappeared, and he is not sure what happened to them. After they disappeared, a relative brought him to the orphanage.

Ja Heh was a senior leader at the orphanage who helped with various projects, including construction and farming. With the help of Grow Thailand, Ja Heh is now completing his third year in college. After college, Ja Heh wants to return to the orphanage and help translate and teach English to the other kids. When he is not busy studying, he enjoys watching movies. Ja Heh asks for prayer for his studies and to travel back and forth to school safely.
