Her name is Béatrice Brunet, she has lived with her Aunt since the death of her mother in the earthquake on January 12, 2010. She lives in village #4 and just completed the 9th grade at the Ecovillage school. She described to us how she worked during the school year to prepare for the state exam: “We started the school year well even though I went a little late due to economic difficulties. My aunt struggles because she already has 3 other children under her responsibilities. We have teachers who come to work regularly every day and we have lessons that end around 2 p.m. Sometimes it is difficult for us because we are often very hungry. There was hardly any food this year but we stayed to take all of our classes. ”
When asked what she is going to do during these Holidays or what she would like to do she replied: “I have no plans for the summer, I do not know what my Aunt will give me as responsibility. But if I had the possibility of going in training camps for young people, I could take advantage to recreate myself and also learn. I would like to learn to sew, learn to use computers ... "
We asked her "If you pass the grade 9 exams, which school would you like to go to continue with your classical studies?" “I don’t know. College tempts me but I certainly won't be able to afford college. I will probably go to high school in Colladere or Hinche.”
When we asked what she would like us to do to improve in school, she replied "I hope we can paint the school, build a computer room like I saw in a school in Hinche."
Thank you very much for your support and your prayers. The school was able to continue all of these programs despite this difficult year. It is because nothing can stop our God! Thank you for continuing to support my country through education.
