Wolcy D. J.R

Birthday: March 27, 2009
Sponsorship #: 2016-00-100JHC

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.

**Please note that each year, we depend on village volunteers whose understanding of the measuring process may create variations in accuracy. Often times, children do not know their age or birthday, and sometimes they measure smaller or larger because of illness. We do the best we can to give accurate updates, but there are cultural constraints that we cannot avoid. Also, these measurements were made in March of 2022. The child may or may not have promoted to the next grade by the 2022-2023 school year. Final exams had not been taken when the update was made. You can assume that the child will move on to the next grade up, but it is not guaranteed. Thank you for your understanding.
