A meaningful reflection from 𝐇.𝐄. 𝐌𝐫 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐍𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐛𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐫, 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐚, after reading Christina Noble's book, "Bridge Across My Sorrows", recently translated and published in Mongolia by Admon Publishers.

In a recent post, the Minister reflected on Christina's life story from the hardship of her childhood born into poverty, being orphaned at the age of 10, to her experience of living as a child on the streets of Dublin, Ireland.

He wrote that Christina's story could be seen as a 20th-century Charles Dickens' "David Copperfield" a moving account of childhood adversity, survival and courage.

These early experiences would ultimately shape the course of Christina's life and lead to the founding of the Christina Noble Children's Foundation in 1989. Her own childhood gave her a profound understanding of suffering, poverty and abandonment, and the courage, instinct and first-hand insight to build a Foundation that has since established more than 180 programmes across education, healthcare, community development and rural capital assistance, supporting vulnerable children, families and communities facing abject poverty and hardship.

𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐍𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐛𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐫 recognised the work of Christina's Foundation, which has been operating in Vietnam since 1989 and Mongolia since 1997. His wider message was especially meaningful:

"I am deeply grateful for the work of Christina's Foundation in my country. Protecting children's rights and building safer systems for children requires the participation of everyone. A society that dedicates itself to the wellbeing and future of its children will always be the winner of the future."

We are grateful to H.E. Mr Purevsuren Naranbayar, Minister of Education, for his thoughtful words, and to our team in Mongolia for continuing to carry Christina's legacy forward with such dedication and heart.

Little girl supported by our wonderful child sponsors on her way to school with her Daddy.

Family takes many forms. Parents, grandparents, siblings, foster carers, teachers, sponsors, an entire community can stand beside a child.

Every kind of family matters. The support we give to a child strengthens the family around them.

This International Day of Families, our deepest heartfelt thanks to all of you for being part of the Christina Noble Children's Foundation family. 💛

Van sent us this wonderful photo from outside the Opera House.
Well done, Van. We are so proud of you. 💛

The children in CNCF’s Child Sponsorship Programme come from families with extremely limited incomes households working tirelessly just to make ends meet. For many of them, the idea of sending their children to a summer camp feels completely out of reach.

In 2025 thanks to the incredible generosity of several UK child sponsors and supporters, 52 children experienced the joy and freedom of attending Summer Camp. For a full week, these young people were able to leave behind the crowded city and its pollution and instead breathe in the fresh air of the countryside.

At the “Peace” Summer Camp, they immersed themselves in sports, arts, fashion activities, and life-skills workshops. They made new friends, explored new interests, and created memories that will stay with them for years to come.

We hope to offer even more children the joy and transformative experience of Summer Camp this year. If you feel inspired to help make that possible, we would love to hear from you please get in touch [email protected]

In addition if you would also like to learn more about the child sponsorship programme and the life changing opportunities it provides. Please visit our website https://www.cncf.org/sponsor-a-child/

A huge thank you to all of our wonderful child sponsors past, present and future for changing young lives and giving children back their childhood and a future to look forward to.

Some stories stay with you. Others change you - as many people across the world will testify.

If you have ever wanted to truly understand the heart and the why behind the Christina Noble Children's Foundation, start with Christina Noble’s books.

𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐌𝐲 𝐒𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐬 (1994) is Christina’s raw, unforgettable memoir - a story of survival, resilience, and the unbreakable spirit that carried her from the streets of Dublin to the streets of Ho Chi Minh City.

𝐌𝐚𝐦𝐚 𝐓𝐢𝐧𝐚 (1997) continues that journey - into Mongolia, into the lives of the children, and into the extraordinary work that followed.

These are not just books. They are the story behind the Foundation, the children, and the mission that continues today.
