Charlotte lives with her parents in a rural area near the town of Jeremie. Highly intelligent, at a young age she stands out for her kindness and communication skills. For example, she already speaks excellent French even though many Haitian children are only fluent in Creole. In fact, she’s helping other kids in her school to learn because she speaks French with them. Her teachers say she is a natural leader. Yet sometimes she used to get sent home from school crying because her parents didn’t have the money to pay her tuition. Now her tuition and other school expenses are covered, and she is moving forward in her education.
