Maylantha D.

Birthday: March 7, 2010 Sponsorship #: 2018-00-025S

Maylantha is a bright little eight year old from the village of Galette Chambon. She lives with her parents, two sisters, and three brothers . Her father is a farmer in the village and her mother stays home with the children. Maylantha’s favorite things to do are go to the garden and help her father, study, and go to church. Her favorite subject in school is mathematics. When she grows up she wants to be a teacher at a school in the village and teach math. She is lucky enough to be able to go to school this year because her father was able to sell a goat to pay for her tuition. However, he could not afford to buy her a uniform. She wants to be sponsored so that her parents don’t have to worry about how they are going to pay for her school and she would love to have a new uniform like the sponsored kids have. When asked what she loves about her country, she said that she loves how the Americans and Haitians work together in her village to do good things for the people.

**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.
