photos - Bonnette, Cite Soleil

Evnelson is the younger brother of Ednerson. Ednerson is doing well at Deedee's. We need to keep an eye out for Evnelson and his nutritional status. His mother is pregnant and will probably have her baby at the end of January. Many times the new baby will result in the next youngest child falling into malnutrition.

The diet of the poor lacks protein and the red hair is a sign of protein deficiency.

This child is carrying back straw from the fields.

In Cite Soleil the poor struggle to find food for the day. These children are taking the small discarded fish that the fishermen discard from their nets. We were in Cite Soleil in the morning. None of these children are able to attend school. Pray that one day every child will have the opportunity for an education.

A lot of the men in Cite Soleil rely on fishing to provide for their families. The baskets you see in the boats are used to catch crabs. The man on the shore is repairing his net.
