This week is exam week for schools here in Haiti. Calwens didn't come to school. His older brother pictured on the far right came today to tell us the news that Calwen's mother died on Thursday. She had had a caesarean surgery a few days before she died. The baby was delivered but Calwens' mother suddenly died, 3 days later. Now there is a newborn baby without a mother. Calwens' father died several years ago and the man that his mother was now with took over responsibity for helping to provide for her children. We are not sure about Calwens' future. A blind handicapped person is not accepted well in Haitian society. With his mother gone I am not sure if his step-father will accept him. Tomorrow we are going to drive over to where Calwens and his family lives to see how they are doing. Pray for the family and especially for Calwens. He is now an orphan. This is a recent photo that we took when Marlene's team was here.
