Children

Venante is in the fourth grade. Like most fourth grade girls she likes school, playing with her friends and with her dolls. She helps around the house and attends The Christian Alliance School in Limonade near Cap Haitian. Cap Haitian is Haiti's second largest city and is located on the northern coast of this country where the daily income of a worker is $1. Education is so important and will allow Venante a better future in a difficult land. The Christian Alliance School is located in the small town of Limonade, about 6 miles southeast of Cap Haitian, Haiti

Robertha lives at JCSD. Her mother is unable to care for her so during school breaks she stays with a staff member. Robertha does not worry about her disability. She will try to do everything. Even though she cannot write as well as well as other students, she does her best. She is not afraid of challenges. Robertha does not allow her disability to deter her from trying new things.
