More pictures from Joan

Set 2 of photos:
1. Madame Antonio and her oldest and youngest daughters (she has 5 girls) inside their house. Baby Nika, 6 months old, was born about a month after her father died of typhoid/malaria. Madame Antonio's mother and father, who are both unable to walk, also live with them. There was absolutely nothing but the tub to bathe the baby in the big entry room. But the dirt floor was well-swept.

2. Madame Antonio outside their house.

3. The local bakery, severely damaged by the September hurricanes, is no longer functioning; so Gaspard no longer has bread.

4. Fr. Phechner and the adult literacy program group--a project of Bishop Paulo. The 5 Gaspard centers had 79 participants; 78 received a passing final grade.
