Poverty in Carrefour




These are some of the poor kids who live at the same place with me. They are exposed to a vulnerable life, where they don’t have access to education, food, water, and medical care.
I have been looking at their situation. They are deeply have many diseases like diarrhea, tuberculosis, malaria, and anemia etc ...due to lacking of food and vitamins. How can we imagine this? A kid is growing while he or she never touches a pen, pencil. It's a shame to hear them crying because they suffer every day and sometimes they die.

They are bare feet every day. Water is one of the biggest problems for our community, we have to walk about 40 to 60 minutes to get a bucket of water, and it is sold, altough we know it is vital. Some of the kids have to walk at that length to get some water for their houses. They are belong to families counts many children. Their mothers can’t afford to pay school for them. Now we know that all of them are growing illiterate. They simply walk in the streets, begging people, crying with empty bellies. This is what we have in Haiti throughout this 21st century.A few minutes ago, a little boy visited this cyber in order to ask everyone some money because he's hungry.

If I had not received a hand in the past I would not be able to write this message about those children who live in this situation.The children are those who will replace us in the future.
