Jouvane is generally a happy student.  He enjoys putting things together and fixing things.  He is a fast learner and warms the heart of anyone he comes into contact with just by smiling.  This is his first experience in school, so he is just learning basic sign skills; he is making progress.  He enjoys spending time with Mission Discovery teams when they visit.  He has fun showing them their playground and running around, chasing people in circles.  Jouvane is a joy to have at JCSD.

Birthday: 02/14/2004

Juliana is in High School!  She came to us years ago from the nearby town of Basson Bleu. She is so tall and thin!  She has really sprung up in the last couple of years.  Some of our team recently brought white boards and helped teach the children English, and Juliana loved this!  She also loved using the books we brought.  In her free time, she likes to jump rope.  She really likes sandals and shoes.  Juliana would love to go to the US someday to study.  She would like to become a doctor so she can help patients because she really likes helping people.

Keddon Shaw

Birthday: 06/07/2005

Gender: Male
School: Jamaica Christian School for the Deaf

Keddon is a little behind his grade level because he has a hard time staying focused on the lesson.  He is trying much harder. He has been very helpful around the class and the school.  He likes to have a part of each activity.  He enjoys watching cartoons when he is at home with his mom and his favorite color is red.  He loves track and field and soccer and hopes to be a policeman when he grows up.

Kemoy Clarke

Birthday: 07/16/2000
Country: Jamaica
Gender: Male
School: Jamaica Christian School for the Deaf

Kemoy is the leader of his friend group. Whenever he comes to school or walks up to join the crew in conversation, he is greeted by his eager friends to tell him the latest gossip. Kemoy is an extremely nice young man and enjoys conversing with not only his peers, the adults and teams around him. His maturity shows in how open he is with those older than him and how he doesn't shy away from conversation. He has a contagious laugh and is a pleasure to be around.

Kendy Milor

Birthday: 07/15/2008
Country: Haiti
Gender: Male
School: Capva School

Kendy would like to be an engineer when he grows up.  So it’s a good things his favorite class is math!  He has one brother.  Like many children in Haiti, Kendy has many responsibilities at home.  He enjoys his time at school where he can be a kid.  He is learning much and hopes to continue on in school.  It is not uncommon for children in Haiti to be taken out of school at a young age to start working and bring in income for the family.  We are grateful Kendy is in school with dreams of becoming an engineer.

Ketchina Cadet

Birthday: 11/07/2012
Country: Haiti
Gender: Female
School: Onaville School

Ketchina Cadet brings a little more life to the classroom.  Many children in Haiti do not go to school at all so we are glad Ketchina is here.  It is somewhat common for young children to go to work for wealthy families as their household servant.  The children in school here in Onaville are learning so much.  HOLD the Children aims to break the chains of poverty that keep these children and their families in this cycle.  We do this by educating kids from a young age and by speaking out about the value of this education.  Can you sponsor Ketchina?  In doing this, you help continue the work
