An Update on Syltane

We received a letter from Syltane thanking us for the donation. The translation from French to English was a little choppy but to summarize she said that she was “wholeheartedly” thankful for our generous donation.  She is from a family of 10 children and her parents were farmers. Her family suffered greatly because her father passed away and her mother was very ill. She also said that it is her desire to increase the number of health professionals in her country. She chose nursing to help all the people suffering in her country.  After she receives her degree she wants to specialize in physical rehabilitation in order to work for the Healing Hands for Haiti Clinic in Port-au-Prince.  She ended by saying that the gift we gave her was the most wonderful thing that has happened in her life.  She closed by writing, “Thank you, thank you, thank you for thinking of me.” 

We are planning to be in touch with Syltane throughout her schooling and graduation process.
