Normil Dabenskya
Favorite Subject: French
Favorite Pastime: Play with Dolls
Normil is one of two children, and sadly her parents are now separated. She lives with her mother.
Life in Haiti is extremely difficult, with the majority of families living below the poverty line, so Normil’s mother struggles to provide for her. Normil needs sponsorship to attend school and have a chance at a better life.
If she is able to finish her schooling, she would like to become a teacher when she grows up. She loves studying French, which will help her prepare to teach school one day! Normil also enjoys playing with her dolls at home.
About my community:
St. Benedict (Port-au-Prince)
In the Archdiocese of Port-au-Prince, the Little Sisters of St. Therese teach our children the common curriculum and the Catholic faith. Since voodoo is so prevalent in Haiti, the patron saint whose intercession we pray for this community is St. Benedict.
About my country:
Haiti
Haiti takes up the westernmost one-third of the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean Sea and is the most impoverished country in the Western Hemisphere. 80% of Haitians live below the poverty line, and over half of the population is under the age of twenty, making the education of Haiti's young people a priority. These problems were magnified by the devastating earthquakes in 2010 and 2020.
