Meet Sofia

When the earthquake in Haiti happened, our students were still on break. Most go "home" to the countryside where many  of their relatives still reside. Sofia also went home--to the capital of Haiti, to visit her father.  Sofia is a new student of ours. She had only been with us a month or so when Christmas vacations started.

We are happy to report that Sofia is now safe and sound. The fifteen year old was in her father's house in Port au Prince when the earthquake happened. A few younger children (relatives) were at home with her at the time. She quickly got everyone out of the house, before it collapsed.

Her mother, back in the DR was frantic. She went to Haiti and spent eight days searching for her child, even checking corpses in the street before she found her, alive and well, although a bit skinnier.

We would appreciate your prayers for Sofia, that the Lord will help her, and help her family as well, to deal with the trauma of what  they have just passed through. We are so relieved to know that she is okay.
