Woodyoumy is a bright twelve year old from the village of Bwa Blan up the mountain from Galette Chambon. H elives with his parents, two sisters, and four brothers. His father is the minister of music at a local church. His mother doesn’t have a job. His father only makes what the congregation is able to pay him with their tithes, and with all of the difficulties in the country over the past few years, the population is struggling financially, which makes it hard to give to support the ministers in the church. In the past, Woodyoumy’s parents have been able to pay his tuition, but they have not been able to keep it up this year. If he is to continue school, he must get a sponsor. Woodyoumy enjoys singing, playing instruments at church, playing with friends, and going to church with his family. His favorite subject in school is mathematics. When he grows up, he wants to become a musician like his dad.
