Our girls and new pictures I've received

These pictures aren't in any specific order but there are some of our girls at the orphanage and some in their hometown of Deye Mon. So happy to see that they are more healthy than they were while living in Deye Mon. We just recently found out that Deye Mon is about 200 years behind the rest of Haiti. They don't have electicity or running water. They don't have much food. In fact mothers would have to carry their children, or walk with their children, for miles upon miles to take them to the mission so that their children could have a meal to eat and then they'd walk back home. Our girls got dropped off at the mission because their mother couldn't take care of them anymore. We know that their mother is still alive, but I believe she's still not healthy and doesn't have a lot to buy anything with, and their father died before the earthquake. We don't know a whole lot but we're starting to be able to piece a few things together about them. Anyways here are some pictures, old and new.


Guerline is in the blue dress, Fafane is in the I love NY shirt, the other two are going to some friends of ours, they are Berlinda, laying on the ground, and Marguerite, in the orange dress.


Guerline, Vagline, who goes to our church here in the states, her parents were able to get here off of Humanitarian Parole before it shut down, and Berlinda.


Guerline and Fafane are on the outsides, and on the insides are their cousins. This is when they still lived at the mission probably about 2 years ago.


Guerline, I think this was in January of this year, after the earthquake.

Fafane catching tadpoles while she still lived in Deye Mon.


Fafane is the one to the very right and Guerline is asleep on the floor.

Fafane is the one in the middle with her eyes poking out over the top of the blanket. I believe this is at HCRM.


Fafane is the one on the left.


Guerline while she still lived in Deye Mon. I got to talk to the girl sitting down. She is AMAZING! She was able to help our girls out while they lived in Deye Mon! She has had some great stories to share with us about our girls and has done an amazing job in helping keep our kiddos healthy!


Lonise is on the very right, her parents were able to get her home on Humanitiarian Parole as well, and our Guerline is right next to her. So beautiful!

Fafane, Lonise, and Guerline.

The Fab Four! Guerline, Fafane, Berlinda, and Lonise. These girls were found together and went to the orphanage together. Lonise is home, Berlinda has a family here that is in the process of adopting her, and then of course our girls have a family waiting for them too.

The Fab Four goofing around!
