Irene has recently switched her studies from Nursing to International Business Administration. Although the institution through which she was studying Nursing was well-researched and reputable, it has declined in its standards this past year. She found that she was not being provided with the resources and organization that she needed to gain the proper skill set. Mosqoy will now be looking for funding opportunities to cover the additional costs of enrolling students in more reliable nursing programs that can be offered through universities in the future; however, in order to graduate in the near future, Irene chose to pursue another career path. She is now very happy with her decision to switch and is dedicated to her new program.

Ben lives with his father and junior brother in a small shack he helped his father build. After the death of his mother two years ago, Ben began taking his schooling very seriously and went from being fifth in his class to first. He enjoys reading and writing and often stays at school late and even comes on weekends in search of books and paper. He aspires to be a lot of things in his future but one of the biggest aspirations is becoming employed at Mawuvio's Outreach Programme so he can help children just like himself.

Adeline loves to be silly, make funny faces, and just make others laugh. This stands as a big contrast to her dark days of begging on the streets of Port-au-Prince. Today she is finally able to be a kid and not worry about her personal survival nor providing for her family. Adeline loves Jesus and is thankful for all He has done for her. She enjoys playing soccer and learning new skills from those willing to teach her. She is a genuine competitor and is clearly one of the best soccer players at the girls' home. She also now has a part-time job working as a cook at our guest house once a week. Please pray for Adeline, that the Lord will continue to heal her heart and fill her with His life, love, and grace.
