Episode 3: I Will Finish: Junise’s Story
Haiti Rising — “I Will Finish: Junise’s Story”
At 18, Junise is just beginning 11th grade in northern Haiti — a journey that only 1 in 12 students ever complete. Each morning she walks past Second Mile Haiti’s Malnutrition and Maternity Centers, and the glow of solar lamps lighting her path. Alongside her father, a cane worker who never attended school, she is rewriting what’s possible for her family. In this episode, host and co-founder Amy Syres steps into Junise’s world to explore what persistence — and access — mean for Haiti’s next generation.
This podcast episode was created in conjunction with Second Mile Haiti's annual In Her Shoes Global 5K, an experience that allows friends of Second Mile Haiti, far and wide, to step into the shoes of the episode's featured heroine.
