About

Renise came to the streets of Port-au-Prince from northern Haiti with her sister to beg and raise money to help her poor family. Life on the streets, however, turned out to be more difficult and traumatic than she expected. As a result, Renise used to regularly stutter, speaking only one word every few seconds when she got nervous or upset. Today, she loves being at the girls' home, is very confident, and has become an outstanding student. She skipped two grades and for the last few years, has been at the top of her class. She has a deep, profound, faith, and wants to one day dedicate her life to help share Jesus with other children living on the streets. Please pray for Renise's continued growth in the Lord and knowledge of His Word.

Renise, We just funded you for your next school year! I hope you are enjoying school and will be able to continue until you graduate. What are your favorite subjects and what do you like to do in your free time? Do you have any hobbies? Tell me about your family. I have four grown children and 8 grandchildren who are very special to me. My husband is about to retire so we will have time to travel a bit and go to see the grandchildren even more. We even hope to come to Africa with Matthew Severson one of these summers! Have a great new year!

    Notable experiences in my life are, first, passing my standard seven examination and, second, entering secondary school. My most difficult experience was when I started to learn English. I have learned that if you want to do something, you have to work hard. I felt proud was when I entered secondary school. My most memorable and happiest thoughts are from when I celebrated at my birthday party. My dream is to be an electrical engineer. I will get there through studying hard and doing well in science subjects. If I had the power to change my country, I would like to improve the electricity supply especially in rural areas because there are shortages of electric power.

    I have experience planting vegetables because my parents do that. Also, we have a garden at our home. Therefore, that is experience I have had in life. Apart from that experience, I also had a difficult experience when I failed my geography exam. That enabled me to learn how to cooperate with other students. I was so proud of myself when I performed well in my national exam. The memorable and happiest moment in my life will be when I reach my dream of being pilot. I will be so happy. My biggest dream is to be a pilot. I will get there through studying hard in physics, geography, and mathematics. After reaching my dream, I will help my parents to modify their cultivation system and to become professional farmers. From there they can expand the area of cultivation into a large plantation. Once I get a chance to have the power to change my country, I will build many airports in each region and some districts. This will help in the flexibility of transportation in my country.

    Experiences in my life are when I failed my examination during primary education and also when my parents failed to pay food for me. My difficult experiences in my life are when my parents have insufficient enough money to pay for all my basic needs at school such as food and other school contributions. The thing that makes me feel so proud of myself is when I succeeded in joining O-level education. This makes me feel that I will, I must, I can do everything. The most memorable and happiest thing in my life will be to reach my dream of being a doctor general so as I can help other people in society. My future dream is to be a GOOD surgical doctor. After me reaching my dream, I will give back help to my society and family, but also to WEF. I need to work hard upon reaching my dream in my life. Once I get chance to have power of changing anything in country, I will improve the education system by converting science subjects from theory to practical. In most of our schools, they teach science subjects mostly theoretically. I will start from there because as we know education is the key to every success in our people.
