Dr.Jariya Prisiri (Dr. Nueng),
Female doctor based in Nan Hospital

"Dr.Jariya or Dr.Nueng was accepted as WVFT’s sponsored child since she was in Grade 2. Dr.Nueng's family was poor. Even though her father was a concrete worker and her mother a vendor, their income was never quite certain each month. When she was a child, she had to either walk or ride her bicycle to school every day.Even though she does not earn as much income as in a private hospital, Dr.Nueng enjoys what she is doing. Money is not the most important thing for her as a doctor. What she wants the most is to be able to care for the sick and see them be restored to good physical health."
