Jean Camille (2)

Jean (from a recent post) brought Paige to see where he had been sleeping.  Compared to many I've seen here, this bus is in great shape.  Paige also got to meet the nice family who would feed Jean when they could.  

Jean attended our alphabetization class yesterday afternoon and was thrilled.  It was his first ever formal day as a student and he was very proud.  Paige will be tutoring him and we'll see how we can integrate him in our school.

Jean Camille

This is Jean Camille.  Here's his story:  father and sister died in the flooding a couple of years ago in Gonaives.  Mother and brother died in the earthquake on JAN 12th.  Another, the last, had both legs amputated after the earthquake because his legs were so badly damaged.  Two days ago a group of people came to get his brother and promised him prosthetic legs so that he could walk again but Jean has no idea where they took him so he finds himself all alone.  He has never been to school and was living on the street with his brother.  He heard about us and came to see if we could help.  He'll be staying here (at least through the storm) until we can find a solution for him.  Prayers won't hurt.
