An energetic and lovable group of six native girls live here at the Leogane Girl’s Home. In July we are expecting ten more girls to join us. The girls who join our program are from the ages of 7-10 and come from the poorest of the poor homes. The main goal of the program here is to teach the girls about God, to show them His love, and to give them a chance to improve their lives. Four days a week, a native lady comes in to teach the girls how to crochet. With time the girls become very swift at crocheting and some can even do a 30” doily in two days.
Most of these girls have been here for several years…
These girls love to crochet… especially with yarn. It amazes me how fast they use up the yarn. I plan to buy some yarn when we go back home for a visit and get one of the girls to crochet an afghan for us! There is never to much yarn here…
It’s time to take a break!!
