Myli

H2H has a new addition... here is Maily with her uncle Peter:



Peter was born in Haiti (Cite Soleil) and was adopted by a family in Alberta when he was 12 years old. He recently returned to Haiti for a visit and spent a month with us at H2H. He was able to meet some of his extended family for the first time - among them was Maily, Peter's niece. She was living with her dad (Peter's brother) in a tent city near the airport and they were struggling to care for her. We don't normally take in babies at H2H (because we are not staffed for the 1 on 1 attention they need) but we instantly fell in love with her and she is now one of the family.

Here she is eating a mango with Emmanuel:



She's such a happy baby that some of the kids wanted to see what she looked like without a smile:



I am looking for a sponsor for Maily... anyone interested?
