It is sort of like a desert/scrub brush environment for the people who live in Bonnette.
This photo sort of looks like a steeplechase obstacle!
It is quiet in the countryside. A whole different pace than Port-au-Prince!
2 of Paulna's cousins greeted her on the walk to her home.
This young cousin has a headful of hair!
Paulna is leading the children up the path to her house.
Across from Paulna's house is the "hougan's" (witchdoctors) house.
A new baby was born a couple days before our visit. It is very small and weighed only about 3 pounds. According to the family she was born during the 7th month of pregancy. The great-grandmother is holding the baby.
The mother of the baby is handicapped and we told the family to go to the Love a Child clinic in Fond Parisien on Monday. We contacted Carole and she was prepared to take in the child to the clinic.
The family didn't go to Love a Child on Monday and the mother of the baby died Tuesday. She was only 25 years old.
Kim handed out some of the child packs to children in the village as well as baby supplies.
The children enjoyed meeting the visitors!
The candy was a big hit!
Jeff got swarmed. It was fun to watch! You can notice that nobody came to his assistance. We all took pictures.
This mother was plastering the walls of her hut. Her child was eating the mud.
This is the first visit back to his family's home in Bonnette for Michelore Noel. Everyone was happy to see him and that he could now stand and walk.
His mother is the lady in the green shirt and the boy in the yellow shirt is his brother, Lukenson. Ricketts can cause bones to not be straight. His brother needs help too to fix his legs. The taller boy standing behind Michelore is his older brother Roselore. Roselore is in good health. Mich also has an older sister who is handicapped as well with severe ricketts. Please keep this family in prayer.
This village seems to have a lot of handicapped children. This boy has ricketts as well. He is only 4 years old. His knees are sore because of how he stands and walks. Pray help can be found for him as well.
Kenny's mother came later. Here the people are watching as she came up the road.
Kenny is now healthy and strong and walks well. His mother is standing in front of him holding the red shirt.
