Mercy Beyond Borders

16-yr old Johanna epitomizes why Mercy Beyond Borders works in Haiti. Slender and quiet, she’s an excellent student who could not afford school were it not for an MBB Scholarship.  Johanna (pictured in green shirt) lost her mother at age 8 and her father died several years later during the terrible earthquake of 2010.  She lived in a small mountain shack with her grandmother and extended family of cousins, a 2-hour walk from town.  She is thrilled to be on scholarship and to be staying now in the MBB Lodge in town.  Without the long daily commute, she says with a shy smile, “I now have time to study and to make friends my own age.”
