Yolanda is growing up and taking on more responsibility! She was born in the high mountains of Covant. This is a nickname for this faraway mountain area. Her mother died shortly after childbirth. Her father, Jean Estima, was unable to care for her and her other six siblings. We agreed to take in Yolanda and her cousin. She had never known any home except our orphanage.

Yolanda is trustworthy. She works in the morning in our lab and earns a little money to save for her college. She is now 16 and in 12th grade. She wants to be a doctor! She will make a good one, because she does everything with excellence!
