About

Cherline is one of three sisters. Originally from northern Haiti, Cherline moved to Port-au-Prince with her mother and sisters when their farm could not provide enough to subsist. She lived in one of Port-au-Prince's worst slums called Cite Soleil. When her mother became critically ill, Cherline took to the streets to beg and collect enough money to send her mom to hospital. Once her mother's health improved, her mother did not want Cherline begging on the street any longer. She approached Susette Manassero and asked if Cherline could live in the orphanage. Since coming to Maison de Lumiere, she has been very happy with a smile that beams with joy. She has a friendly personality and is very thoughtful, often writing letters to visitors, which are filled with encouraging scriptures. Please pray that Cherline will grow into a Godly young woman who seeks to serve Christ to the fullest.

Hey Cherline,
I've been doing great, what about you? I bet you are great at soccer! Speaking of soccer, I have a soccer game tomorrow and I'm really excited. Today in soccer practice we had a scrimmage (which is a practice game with your team) and my friends John-Henry and Tumelo kept getting hit by the soccer ball and by people and I think they are going to have a lot of bruises :'( poor guys. I'ts kinda funny because John-Henry and Tumelo have nicknames and John-Henry is "Jenry" and Tumelo is "Toomie". Pretty much everybody calls them by their nicknames and sometimes even the teachers do!! Do you have a nickname? My nickname used to be "cheese" and now it's either "Chi" or "Chi-Chi". Anyway here is a picture of me and my best friend, Avery. Do you have a best friend?
Good to talk to you,
Chia

Hey again Cherline,
I'm doing great! And to answer your question, I am 12 years old. How old are you? That's great that you like playing soccer because I recently joined my school's soccer team. It's really fun and so far we are un-defeated! Do you play soccer on a team or just by yourself or with friends? I'm excited to hear from you again,
Sincerely, Chia

Hello Cherline,

My name is Chia and I live in Austin, Texas, USA. I go to the Khabele school and every person is supposed to fund someone to go to school so I decided to fund you. Anyway, what school do you go to? Do you like it there? What are you learning? I really like my school and I am taking English, Social Studies, Pre Algebra, Spanish, Art, and Life Science. Do you have any hobbies Cherline? I really like to sing and make art and I'm thinking I might want to be a musician or artist when I grow up. What about you?
Sincerely, Chia

    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.

    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.
