We are so proud of our Love A Child kids!!! All of them that are in Philo (their last year of school) just got their test results and everyone passed! This is really a major miracle to have seven children pass Philo and all of them from one orphanage. We have always stressed, “putting the Lord first and putting your education next in line.” Children without education and a goal in life can get mixed up with the wrong crowd, and they could easily end up on the street. When you have an orphanage in Haiti, you must prepare to have disappointments and your heart broken, but the rewards of “forgiveness” to the “Prodigal Son” can bring tears to your eyes.
In the photo, left to right…
Kenson is a good-looking young man. He is very, very quiet, but always polite and there when you need him. He will never say “no” or “I’m too busy.” He will be going to mechanic school next. He can get his hands dirty, but oh my, he loves to dress up!!
Davidson… I will call him the “trial of my faith!” I just could not get him or his twin brother out of bed! I had to take some “desperate old-fashioned measures” to get him up, including a bullhorn! Once, I sent him and his brother up to the highest mountain, where they were born, so they could appreciate sleeping in a nice clean bed and having three meals a day! It was a great experience for them! Of all the children, Davidson made the highest grades!! He has a creative ability and wants to be a cinematographer.
Joseph is the brother of Sarah. He and his sister had severe malnutrition when their mother died, and they were brought to us. Joseph has been on the “painting team,” and does a wonderful job. He will study “mechanics” and go to the same school as Kenson.
Lomene was a “restavek slave child” that we rescued. She is honest, sweet, no stress, and a sweetie. She wants to be “chief cook” one day. She has been making eggs for Bobby on the weekend, but she hasn’t passed “eggs” yet! There is always hope!
Jonas is such a special young man. He is sweet, funny, and hardworking!! He is a jokester! He is also a sweet and kind young man. He also wants to be a mechanic!
David… He is the twin brother of Davidson and the more “mature” of the two. He made the second to the highest grade. He is quiet, and both he and his brother have learned the lesson… “When mom is happy, everyone is happy!” (He should make a good husband!)
Kidney has been working in our Love A Child Radio Station for years. He loves “communications.” So, he will be taking on telecommunications (radio, television, and internet) and I am sure he will be good at it!
College in Haiti is very expensive. Not to mention, we must rent an apartment and provide transportation and food. The cost is great, but the rewards are greater! We want to thank all of those who have contributed to our “College Fund!” These Love A Child children will be the next generation to effect change in Haiti!
God bless you and thank you.
Bobby and Sherry
