photos - various - part 6

Fedner Alphonse is a cousin of Johnny. He is serious with his schooling and helps with the cooking of the evening meals during the week.

Claudin Jean is the younger brother of Macdonald. Because Macdonald is handicapped he always helps out his brother and assists him in bathing. We are sponsoring his education this year.

Herode Alexandre is "growing like a weed" and is going to be tall! He is the younger brother of Jn. Eddy and attends 3eme Secondaire in school. He enjoys playing jokes on people!

Just recently Marie became a godmother for her sister's son. The family asked us to take photos of his presentation at Pastor Octave's church. Pastor Octave anointed him with oil on his forehead. A godmother is an important member of the family here in Haiti. If the parents of their god-child were to die, they assume the role as the guardian of the child.

It is an important occassion and we were happy to help them out by being their photographer!

These pictures are so nice. It's good to see everyone. How nice to get pans, oven, Christmas ornaments, AND TURKEY for Christmas PLUS a stand for your TV! What a nice Christmas. Looking forward to your next pictures. Thanks - Janet
