Profile

I am Iberta Lauture, and I am 10 years old. I am from Haiti – my village is Tuff in La Vallee located in the South East of Haiti. Since my dad passed away two years ago, I now live with my mom, a brother, and a sister.

My mom is having a hard time to run the house since she is unused to working. My dad was the head of the household and the main supporter of our family. My mom is relying on some friends sometimes to help us pay for food and tuition. She is trying to run our small family farm, but it is not easy for her. The income is not enough. This year I was very fortunate to start going to school because my aunt paid the tuition for me. Everything is getting tougher for mom.

My dream is to be engineer in the future. With that degree, I will be able to help my mom and get a nice house. But before all, I have to complete my elementary and high school!
