This is one of the children I'm painting for my "Moni's Kids" Project. All proceeds will go back to the children portrayed in this series. To learn more about this project, please click here or you may follow the progress of this series on my blog here.
About Vanessa: Vanessa is 10 years old and such a cutie! I was trying to get a photo of her blowing a bubble with the bubble gum we brought ( note to self: test out the gum beforehand to see if it actually makes good bubbles!), but it just wouldn't work. She giggled throughout and kept at it. I decided to leave the blue gum showing in the side of her mouth. Vanessa is the youngest of three children (Viladrin and Youseline are her siblings), all from Cap Haitien. She was very sick with malaria when she came to NLCH in 2002 (she was around 15 months old). Her mother was mentally ill and unable to care for her children. Vanessa loves to smile and sing and wants to be a nurse when she grows up.
