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