“Lollipop!”

Sandraline, what a sweetie! I have always called her, “pi-wi-li,” which means, “lollipop!”

Sandraline was born in Croix-des-Bouquets, a large town, which now is full of gangs.

Her mother died a short time after she was born; her father made a small living by repairing bicycle tires in order to hire a woman to care for her… But that was not enough money even to buy milk.

At nine months old, she was extremely malnourished, so her father found out about Love A Child and brought her to us. It took a long time for her to improve in her health, but today, she is fine health-wise. She is “very slow” in school. Because of her malnutrition, she is “younger in her mind,” than she should be… but she is sweet! She is in 6th grade but has failed one or two years.

Sadraline loves babies and loves dolls, loves helping in the Malnutrition Clinic, and “loves to clean!”

When she finishes school, she will probably end up “working for Love A Child,” or, working at our Malnutrition Clinic… We will see. All of us love Sandraline!!!
