Lesly is a loving and gentle eleven year old who lives with his parents, two sisters, and four brothers in the village of Bayawonn near Galette Chambon. His parents are farmers so their entire income is dependent on whether or not they have rain. Their land is also susceptible to flooding, so during hurricane season they also often lose crops. This makes it very difficult to be able to afford to send all of their children to school. Sometimes one or more has to sit out a year of school because it’s all they can afford. Fortunately for Lesly, he was able to go to school this year, but having a sponsor would make it guaranteed that he could go every year. When Lesly is not in school, he enjoys working in the garden with his father and studying lessons. His favorite subject is Creole Communication and when he grows up, he wants to become a doctor. Lesly says that his favorite thing about his village is his school. He says that Maranatha school used to be a school that was not respected. Now everyone wants to go there because it is beautiful and they get to eat at school and they have good teachers. Thank you BGM!

**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.
