About

Emmanuel lost his entire family in the earthquake. Haiti's version of Child Protective Services, IBESR, asked if he could stay at our home while they located relatives. Family members have not been found and we have gladly welcomed him as a permanent member of our orphanage. Emmanuel is a ball of energy who loves to tumble and try thrilling new tricks on the skateboard. He is very goofy and loves to dance or act silly to make others to laugh. Please pray for Emmanuel, that he will come to know the love and hope of his Savior. Emmanuel's exact date of birth is unknown.

Hello Emmanual,
My name is Laura Kontomitras and I live in Los Angeles, California with my son Jason. Jason is 15 years old and goes to high school here in Los Angeles. I read your profile this morning and am so very sorry to hear about the loss of your family. It is a terrible loss for any person, especially a young child, such as yourself. I am hoping that you will write us and tell us about your studies and your life. What do you like to do? What is your favorite sport? What is your favorite book? We hope to hear from you soon.

Best wishes Emmanuel,

Laura and Jason Kontomitras

    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.

    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.

    The experience that I had early in life was to score good marks in my class, whereby I got good grades which encouraged me to study hard in class. The difficult experience that occurred in my life was an accident on my way back home. I learnt that I should not play again in bad areas. In my life I am proud of myself. I was getting low marks in class but now I have managed to improve a lot. The most memorable and happiest thing in my life is to play football. It exercises my body regularly and hence strengthens my body system. My dream is to become a mechanical engineer. The best way to reach it is through studying hard in school, in physics, mathematics and chemistry. If I had power in my country, I would change the education system of the country so that it helps graduates to depend more on self-employment.
