My name is Valencia, but everyone calls me Vava. I am 19 years old.  I attended TLC shool where I learned excellent English and graduated at the top of my class from Concordia College. 

 

Here in Haiti we have a 13th year called Philo, which is about equal to the first year in college.  It is a very difficult exam and the failure rate is over 70%.  Without a philo certificate you cannot attent a university.  I missed passing by only 26 points but will retest soon.  I have big dreams for my future and will pass the exam next time.  Please pray for my success.  I know there are no limits to our dreams. 

  

I am in a single mom family and have 2 brothers and a sister.  My dad left us and is unable to help.  School starts  again i

$US 1650.00

 

It is a long walk to school but to go on a "taptap" or public transportation costs more money.  That is why I walk. 

 

Sometimes I get discouraged but I always have a smile on my face,  Please pray for me to be strong and follow His Word.
