There are seven members in her family. She has got three brothers, two sisters and her. She is the third child in her family. Her family is poor, her parents are the farmers. They have two hectares of rice fields which has produced 2,000 kg of rice per year. Furthermore, this is only the ideal output because they need to barter for fertilizer and other expenditures during the farming process, but the family still lives in the poverty. Her parents have not enough food or money to buy school supplies for the children. Therefore, Koemleng needs to help her mother housework when she has free time to study.
