Several parents came to the house this week looking for help for a school for their children. Achetane Jean is a 13-year-old girl who has never attended school.

Maxime Rene is a 12-year-old boy who also has never gone to school.

Noriliane Therny is a 15-year-old girl who has never been to school. Even though we can't help a lot of children it is great that these children will get the opportunity to learn how to read and write.

Widgine Pierre Jean is a 15-year-old mentally handicapped girl who has never gone to school. One of my prayers is that one day we can offer vocational trades here at Coram Deo. The girls could learn to sew. Pray that one day this will be possible. I have confidence if it is the Lords' will it will happen.

When the EDH company came to trim trees in the neighborhood the men who sit around on the streets refused to help to clean the streets of the limbs. Actually they wanted me to do it. I thought I would take a shot of the lazy welders who work in front of the house. They just work around the garbage! Pray that we can help the community to become environment friendly!

Tyra Leigh Ladouceur is a young girl who has a cleft palate. She still has not had this repaired. There is a Smile Train team coming to the Baptist Mission Hospital in September to do cleft lip and palate surgeries. I am going to encourage her mother to take her there. She has a speech impediment because of this. She is one of the students who have been coming during the summer months for tutoring.

Youby Ladouceur is her older brother. Their mother is a determined lady and has done a good job of raising both of her children. Youby went to St. Vincents' school for the handicapped last year and has been also attending tutoring sessions here with his sister.

Judite Pelican is one of the students in our handicapped class. She continues coming to the house for the summer months for tutoring as well. She has battled bouts of malnutrition over the years.

Kencia Lemaitre is deaf. Her father came with her looking for assistance for schooling.

Jessica Morlan is one of the students who hopes to attend our school program in the fall.

During the summer months school children from the neighborhood use our facilities for tutoring.

Older student mentors help out the younger children. This boy is getting help with mathematics.

The children enjoy doing school work!

Even the older students do some studying as well.

Minor Delisme will be part of our school program here at Coram Deo. His family lost their home in last year's flooding. He will be staying with a family in the Delmas 31 area and attend school here. Pray for his family and that they may one day have a home again.
