Mother and sons

This mother walked from Les Cayes (over an hour) to visit her two older boys who are residents of Espwa.  She comes at least once a week.  They enjoy each others' company for a little bit and then she heads back to the city with tears in her eyes.

  1. My heart goes out to her. Poverty is such an inadequate reason to force the breakup of families.

  3. You are doing a beautiful thing, keeping families together. It is unfortunate that another non-profit in the area is asking parents to give up legal custody of their children and never see them again. I wonder if the parents understand the pact they are making.
