My birthday is 2007-05-06

Status: Paternal Orphan

I want to be a baseball player or policeman.

My favorite subject is Science.

Fernando lives in Batey Lecheria in the Dominican Republic. Batey is the Haitian word for village. The older generations in Batey Lecheria are Haitian. Life for Haitians in the Dominican is difficult. Fernando lives with his mother and grandmother who is ill. His father abandoned the family when he was only four years old. He mother sells items to earn some money, but it is not enough to provide for her family. Fernando attends the public school, and his favorite subject is science. In his free time, Fernando enjoys playing baseball. His favorite color is white, and he would like to become a baseball player or policeman in the future.
