Cheng suffered from a combination of mumps and an attack of asthma.

A new sponsor in Denmark gave me the opportunity to improve the condition of this fantastic 11 years old boy, Sophal. Sending him to a part time private school and feeding him up, he is 130 cm and only 22-23 kg. You can read more about his background in a former notification from 1. March 2010. It will be fantastic to follow him in the coming months.
