This quiet, shy, young lady is now 17 and will be in her "11th" year of school here in Haiti. Daniella is one of those children that "you never know she is there." She is usually...
Here in Haiti, at Love A Child, all the kids have a nickname. We call Job, "yon pye kokoye!" (A coconut tree!) That kid is growing so tall, and I can't keep him in clothes!

Here is our next "doctor," Roselyne! This picture was taken when she was on her way to our church here in Fond Parisien.
