Rose-Nerlande

This is my new friend Rose-Nerlande.

She is a highly sociable and curious 13 year old, with a fantastic singing voice who often leads the other children in the twice daily devotions. She is keen to try and communicate with me, has a few English phrases, and was the star student in my English classes. She has a really strong and tough personality that will hold her in good stead.

The recent visit from the ship´s doctor diagnosed showed she has heart problems – certainly an irregular heart-beat or possibly heart murmurs.

Rose-Nerlande is so active; it has caused a few surprises and worries amongst her carers here at the orphanage.

We would love to find a cardiologist here in Haiti who could examine her further and treat her condition, but they are notoriously expensive.
