This is her oldest sister in the picture with her.  They came to clinic one day last week. Nathalie’s mom was very sick.   The mom died in the clinic yard while Nathalie was inside being seen by the nurse.  Her older sister below is in school in Port-au-Prince.  She has gone far in her school and her family is proud of her.  Being the oldest she has a lot of responsibilities now that her mom is dead.  She cried and cried when she knew her mom died.  She just does not know what to do, she cannot care for her youngest new sister and continue school.  She asked if we could keep her in the rescue center.  There are 9 other kids besides Nathalie.  She is 1 month old and weighs 5 pounds.

    oh, Licia. poor little babies. Is Gene the brother of the Amonise that was there as an infant when we were there in 2010? Poor little darlings. I feel so bad for little Nathalie’s sister – what a hard life she endures.

    It may be just the flash, but please take an extra look at Gene’s left eye.
