Clarens M.

Birthday: December 22, 2013 Sponsorship #: 2016-00-246S

Clarens is a sweet twelve year old who was in our malnutrition program at Hope Center Clinic years ago and through the grace of God, he survived! He came to us very sick and had to go to an inpatient unit a long way from home, but he bounced back great and became healthy enough to start school!! He has been in our sponsorship program since 2016, but recently lost his sponsor. He has two brothers who are hoping to find sponsors too. They all live with their parents in a little village called Dalgro near Galette Chambon. His father is a farmer and his mother stays home with him and his brothers. His father is deaf, but he works hard as a share cropper to make money for his family and bring home food. The farms in the village have not done very well for the last two years, however, because of two droughts and now the hurricane. The farm where his father works was completely flooded by the river in the storm. Clarens is very excited about school and works very hard to make good grades. He doesn’t know what he wants to be when he grows up yet, but for now he just enjoys playing with his friends.

**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.
