Profile

My name is Stephania Augustin, and I’m in 5th grade at St Paul school in La Vallee de Jacmel. I have 3 sisters, Marie Alexandra, Florence and Schelda. I am 10 years old. I live in a very small village located in Sud Est of Haiti. It is a very nice place in the mountains. I love living here, even though we don’t have electricity or running water.

My family does not have a large income because only my father works on his very small farm. There is no irrigation system and it does not rain often. My father just can't make that much from his hard work. My father was trained to be a fruit harvester, but there no such jobs for him around La Vallee. He would like to create his own business one day, but he has no money to invest. My father has a great deal of pride, but he is getting old - he is around 50.

I like to go to school and I like math. I am working hard and want to get a degree in agriculture later. Since I am from the countryside, I love plants, and I am sure I will be able to help my people and my family.

God bless everybody.
