Ashley P.

Birthday: June 12, 2005 Sponsorship #: 2018-00-040JHC

Ashley is a fun-loving thirteen year old (soon to be 14) who wants to go to school so badly. He lives in the village of Galette Chambon with his aunt and five cousins. His parents died of tuberculosis when he was little and his aunt chose to adopt him. His adopted brothers are Jovensky, Edson, Redondo, and Makel and his adopted sister is Jalanda. They have had a rough year because they have been living on their own without a mother. His aunt had to flee for her life after she was beaten up by their father. He kicked her out of his house but he rarely comes home to take care of the children. He works in Port au Prince and stays there most of the time. Currently a team from Biloxi is raising money to build a house for them so they can be reunited with their mother and live separately from their father. Ashley’s siblings (cousins) all have sponsors, so they are able to go to school. Ashley wants to go to school too so he can grow up to be a mason and build houses. He loves visiting with American teams and going to VBS.

**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.
