 Nong and his younger sister Dong are from the Nam Som Mountains. Shortly after their father died of AIDS, the two children where abandoned by their mother when she moved to Bangkok to work. Dong and Nong were left with their grandmother. She attempted to care for the children but simply couldn't manage. She brought Dong to Sarnelli in the spring of 2001, but held on to Nong until September of 2001. Nong is a relaxed, easy going, and smiley 5-year-old. He is a good whistler and enjoys his afternoon naps. Nong is now attending the school.
