Today a dolls’ house, tomorrow a real home
January 26th, 2012It’s heart-warming to know that dolls’ houses can be a comfort to people in the most dire circumstances.
Take eight-year-old Alandine Candio for instance.
Two years after the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, Alandine and her family are still living inside a shed-like, temporary shelter built by the Red Cross in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
But a dolls’ house she received as a Christmas present is now her pride and joy.
According to the Red Cross in a recent press report, the pace of home construction in Haiti has increased recently and the organisation and its partners have provided housing for more than 100,000 people already.
Hopefully it won’t be too long before Alandine and her family will have a real home in which she will be able to give her dolls’ house pride of place.
