Profile

My name Jameson Lauture, and I am 13 year old. I am going to a small elementary school and I am in the 6th grade.

I was born in Lavial, a very small and poor village around La Vallee de Jacmel. The hurricanes uprooted the trees in our neighborhood and also destroyed our crops. My dad is a farmer in an area where it does not rain very much. As a result, our income is very low, and we can barely survive. I am afraid that I will be forced to drop out of school because my dad can’t afford to pay the tuition. Every day, I dream about finding a way to not worry about paying my tuition. Otherwise my goal to be an engineer one day will never come true.

I feel like education is the most basic step in international development. I believe it is the area in which the most concrete and long-lasting impact can be made. I love the idea of Givology and am happy to be a part of the community.
