Yolette Louis, 4, laughs in the arms of Nichole Osborn, of Farwell, at My Heart's Home Orphanage in Port Au Prince, Haiti. Osborn is a volunteer from Heart Cry International, a Mount Pleasant- based nonprofit organization supporting the orphanage. Osborn's main project was to assess the fifteen children living at the orphanage in order to place them in a homeschool system which will be implemented soon in the coming year. Osborn and seven other members of the HCI team volunteered for eight days in Port Au Prince and completed several building and painting projects, including the construction of seven bunk beds for the children, shelves for the pantry, a desk and shelf for the office room, a large table and benches for the kitchen, a learning center with large worktable and shelves, and the painting of the front hallway and upstairs main room.
Yolette is four years old and one of the most amazing people I've ever met, a pint-sized Mother Teresa in Haiti...this is a preview to a column I'm writing about her that will run in CM-Life tomorrow. More about her later, but know that she's incredible...
