DodoJeanRisme2016-00-100J1 WOLCY’S FAMILY EVACUATED THE VILLAGE IN SEPTEMBER OF 2023 AND HE WAS REPORTED AS LEAVING SCHOOL. THEY WENT TO LIVE WITH FAMILY IN ANOTHER VILLAGE FOR A WHILE BUT HIS PARENTS WERE UNABLE TO FIND WORK AND THERE WAS NO SCHOOL AVAILABLE FOR THEIR CHILDREN TO GO TO SCHOOL. THEY DECIDED TO RETURN TO GALETTE CHAMBON IN JANUARY SO HE NEEDS A NEW SPONSOR IN ORDER TO CONTINUE SCHOOL. THE PHOTO ABOVE IS FROM 2016 WHEN HE FIRST ENTERED THE PROGRAM. THERE ARE ADDITIONAL PHOTOS BELOW. HE IS NOW FOURTEEN YEARS OLD.

Wolcy “Dodo” Jean Risme is a bright and energetic seven year old from the village of Gros Balanse. He lives with his parents, two brothers, and 4 sisters. His parents are share cropper farmers, but they do not make much money. His father does most of the work, and his mother sometimes helps, but she usually stays at home with the children and sometimes takes produce to the market to sell in order to feed their family. They are very thankful that their children can be sponsored in school not only because they have hope for a future when they learn to read and write, but also because they get a hot meal every day. They know that as long as their children are in school, they will never go hungry. This is such a comfort to them. Dodo enjoys playing with his friends and playing soccer. When he grows up, he wants to drive a big tap tap truck.
