Congraulations Phaline!

Phaline has dreamed of becoming a nurse since she was a little girl.  Her parents struggled for many years to care for their large family.  They often did not have enough food and it was becoming impossible for her parents to continue to support the education for all of the children.
It was through these years of struggle and one particular walk to school that God planted this dream in Phaline.  Phaline recalls one day walking to school seeing someone sick along the road.  As a little girl, of course there was nothing she could do, but she vowed to one day be able to help her community.
When Phaline was about 12, her parents made the very difficult decision to have three of their daughters move to the Good Samaritan Girls Home where they could receive help.   Max & Margarette and her AWAKENHAITI sponsorship provided good health,  a second family, a great education, and she has learned faith in God.
  She moved back with her family two years ago.  While Phaline spent years at the girls home, her connection to her family remained very strong.  Her parents have modeled faith and have continued to lead a tight family bond.
Through the support of Max and Margarette and the AWAKENHAITI transition program, Phaline has worked hard and not only graduated high school, but also just graduated from nursing school!  Phaline is currently half-way through her year long clinical work and she will take her government licensing exam in August.  We hope that she will be ready to begin working as a registered nurse by the beginning of 2017!
Phaline has such a compassionate and caring heart.  Her faith in God has carried her through some very challenging things.  She has worked so very hard to experience this dream God placed in her long ago!  Thank you to those who have poured into the Good Samaritan Homes and the AWAKENHAITI transition program!  You have made a huge difference in Phaline's life!
Phaline, we celebrate with you and we pray for you as you prepare for your exams!
