There may be all kinds of problems outside, but the girls have to have something “to think about,” other than gangs on the streets. This is Dumolia, one of our older girls, who was badly burned when she was very young, but now, since she has had many surgeries in the States, she is doing much better. Dumolia is now working (volunteering) in our Maternity Clinic at Love A Child, and she does the “ultra-sounds” on pregnant moms.

The kids call her “Dlo,” (or water), because she adapts to any situation, like water. You can put her anywhere, and she is adaptable. She is also extremely intelligent and has a great personality! And we all depend on her… the best thing about her is that she is our own personal “manicurist!” Ha!

Little Daphline is a sweetie, too. She is tall and also beautiful. It doesn’t seem possible she is 14, because we have had her and her cousin since they were babies. She comes from the mountains of Savaan Roche, far, far into the mountains. She and her cousin, Jolina, came to us at the same time. There were tragedies in their family that caused a Haitian Pastor to bring two little babies a long distance over the mountains to us. We have both cousins now!

Daphline is a little “peace-maker,” should there ever be an argument between two children. (Rare.) Our girls here, love to look pretty, do their hair, get their nails done, and do the Praise Dances! God could not have given us any better children!!! We love all of our children here in Haiti “so much!”
