Richemond P.

Birthday: August 13, 1999 Sponsorship #: 2017-00-052M

Ricemond is a happy, fun-loving, hard working 17 year old from Galette Chambon who is excited to be going to the BGM high school. He comes from a large family where everyone works hard in the fields as share croppers. He has three sisters and two brothers, and all of them work as much as they can to try to feed their family and make ends meet. His household is not just him, his parents and siblings; living with them are also two aunts, their children, their grandparents, and an uncle who has been bedridden since he was 13 years old. There are a lot of mouths to feed in his house, and Rismond does all he can to help. He often finds work on construction crews in the village where there is an opportunity. Ricemond is happy to work if it means helping his family survive. This is why he is 17 and in the 8^th grade. He has chosen to sit out of school a year here and there to allow siblings to go or to work to provide for his family. He is determined to finish though because he wants to go to college to become a social studies teacher and musician. Ricemond loves music and he sometimes plays the guitar or drums at his church. He has taught himself how to play both and playing music gives him much joy and satisfaction.

**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.
