Jean Edwouard is the boy we rescued from a life as a restavec (child slave) in the village of Old Letant. His parents died in a hurricane, and Jean Edwouard was left to live with relatives. This abuse often happens in Haiti. The family made him cook meals, care for younger children and do a variety of other chores. He was also not allowed to go to school with the other children in the village. Jean Edwouard looked so sad and skinny when we saw him building a fire to boil water. He was very thin, and we could tell he wasn’t getting proper nutrition. His aunt allowed us to take him to our Love A Child Children’s Home where he has now lived for 12 years. When he arrived, he received lots of love, three nourishing meals a day and a Christian education. Jean Edwouard is growing up to be a fine young man. He has become part of our “painting crew,” and has a great work ethic. He loves going to school and being part of a big family. Thank you, partners, for changing another life in Haiti. God bless you.
