Gandulam the law graduate, Mongolia

After 14 years of sponsorship, 22-year-old Gandulam has graduated from one of the best law schools in Mongolia.

"Since I was a young girl, I dreamed of becoming a lawyer." 

“Since I was a young girl, I dreamed of becoming a lawyer. I always admired prosecutors in the movies!” Gandulam says. Now with a Bachelor’s degree, she is equipped with tools and skills to reach her dream of fighting for justice.

Gandulam’s path to university graduation was not an easy one. Her mother and father only earned a seasonal income that was barely enough to support their family of six – let alone pay the university’s expensive tuition fees. Thanks to World Vision’s scholarship programme, Gandulam was able to continue her education. She is the first of her family to have studied and graduated from university.

 I am really grateful for World Vision and my sponsor, Sylvia!

“My family, relatives and sisters and brothers of World Vision have all believed in me, motivated me. That’s why I tried my best not to disappoint them, and graduate from my university successfully. Now that I have a degree, I am happy that I can finally help my mother and father,” shared Gandulam. “I am so happy that I was given the chance to study law for four years, and now I am graduating! I am really grateful for World Vision and my sponsor, Sylvia! Now I will work hard towards passing the bar examination, and become a prosecutor in the future, that’s my goal.”
