“She Came From This, and Became This”

CeCe George had a dress. As orphans in Haiti, she and her brother sometimes ate clay from the ground just to fill their stomachs. Only children from wealthy families or those with sponsors could go to school.

Denys Diaz worked alongside her family members in the Yakima Valley agricultural fields. It was hard work, but it was the life they knew.

CeCe was fortunate to be adopted by an American couple who raised her in Ferndale, Washington. Denys’ mom encouraged her to do well in school to have a better life. While these women’s parents have done so much for their daughters, they are unable to help pay for their higher education.
