17 - Jasmin Dominguez
17-Jasmin_72Jasmin Dominguez, age 15, is the oldest sister of a little girl who was brought to PAHS suffering from severe malnutrition who died a few days after admission. When we took the little body back home, we found 3 other children. Jasmin, 9 at the time, was caring for her two younger siblings, doing the cooking and the cleaning (their mother had died 8 months before this, leaving only Jasmin and their father to care for the little ones). She had never attended school. We took all the children in for nutritional rehab. Jasmin has been with us ever since. She is a sweet and capable girl who is exceptionally eager to learn.
