Ginyia is just like any other little girl… She loves to play with dolls, but she is also a hard worker. Here she is, just finishing up washing dishes. (She also hand washes a lot of her own laundry!)

Ginyia loves “girly things,” dolls, hair-do’s, fingernail polish, etc. She loves jump rope, dolls, and pretty dresses for church! We believe her mother or father was from the Dominican Republic, but not much is known about them. Her mother died during a C-Section, and her father left for the Dominican Republic and never returned. She was raised by an older 17-year-old sister who could not go to school and take care of a baby, so they brought her to the Department of Social Services, and they brought her to us. She will be in 4th grade this year. One of her daily jobs is cleaning her room! She wants to be a nurse! The kids gave her a nickname… since she has a large forehead, they call her “Fon Ton Boulet!” That doesn’t bother her a bit! All kids here have nicknames!

She is a sweetie, and we love her dearly.
