Meet the six

October started off with a bang! IBESR (the equivalent of department of family and children's services) gave HCRM 6 new children. At the IBESR meeting children were distributed amongst orphanages in attendance. Many of these children were from flood victim families while others were victims of the poverty that is so pervasive in this nation. I want you all to meet the new girls.
1. Nadia is an quiet and well-mannered 10 year old that loves positive attention. Her parents like so many in Haiti work as vendors in Petit Goave.

2. Midrene is 10 years old. Her father is deceased and her mother works as a vendor. She came here with her older sister

3. Mirlange. She is 11 years old. She and her sister are both healthy and have put on weight since their arrival at HCRM.

4. Sylvanie (Lalane) is polite, kind, and shy 11 year old. Both of her parents are living working as vendors in Jacmel. She has clearly gained weight since she's been here, but the scale recently broke so we don't know actual numbers.

5. Berline (Chachou) is a very energetic and entertaining 12 year old. Her father is deceased and her mother works as a vendor in Port-au-Prince.

6.PierreLyne is a fiesty 9 year old that loves photos. Her parents work as vendors in Les Cayes.

I did not say this previously, but HCRM has a website (http://www.haitichildrensrescuemission.org/). It is not updated and I do not have access to the html coding to update information. So I am using this blog to keep you informed. Feel free to check out the website. There are many photos but know that some of those children are no longer at the orphanage.
