The Voice Poverty Cannot Silence

To every man, woman, and child who doesn’t have a voice-this is for you.

While beautiful and vibrant, the island of Haiti was not an easy place to grow up.

Poverty was loud and impossible to ignore. It shouted limits and lack, but for one young girl, the hope of something different was louder. She had dreams that one day her family would have food enough to spare. One day, she’d have a soft bed to lie on each night and complete her education and change her circumstances.

But how often do hopes and dreams win against the relentless clamor of poverty?

Heartwarming and heart-wrenching, this memoir from the founder of Teach Haiti, Miquette McMahon, shares her experience growing up in harsh, abject poverty and her refusal to be defined by destitution and deprivation. Against all odds, and through God’s provision and the sacrificial love of family, she found her voice, and she has dedicated her life to helping young people in Haiti find theirs.

The Voice Poverty Cannot Silence is an inspirational and reverent testament to resilience, the power of education, and the kindness of people who choose to invest in others.
