DIANA DIAZ VIZCARRA 

FEBRUARY 19, 1992

DIANA IS ONE OF THE YOUNGEST CHILDREN IN THE ORPHANAGE. HER MOTHER BROUGHT DIANA AND HER SISTER EVELYN TO US ASKING FOR HELP. THE FATHER HAD LEFT AND SHE WORKED FROM EIGHT O’CLOCK IN THE MORNING TO SEVEN O’CLOCK IN THE EVENING, LEAVING THE GIRLS HOME ALONE. OF COURSE THIS WAS DANGEROUS AND THE MOTHER WAS AFRAID THAT HER GIRLS WOULD HAVE AN ACCIDENT OR THAT THEY WOULD BE MOLESTED BY NEIGHBORS OR NEARBY WORKERS.

DIANA IS A VERY HAPPY GIRL. SHE LIKES TO DO WHAT HER SISTER DOES. SHE HAS ADAPTED EASILY. AT FIRST, WHENEVER HER MOTHER CAME TO VISIT, OR BRING DIANA AND EVELYN BACK TO THE ORPHANAGE AFTER A WEEKEND AT HOME, DIANA WOULD CRY A LOT. SHE WANTED TO STAY WITH HER MOTHER. SHE NOW UNDERSTANDS THAT HER MOTHER LOVES HER AND IS GOING TO VISIT HER WHENEVER SHE CAN.

DIANA HAS LEARNED THE RULES OF THE ORPHANAGE, AND THE THINGS OF GOD THAT ARE TAUGHT HERE EVERY DAY. SHE HAS A SLIGHT PROBLEM WHEN SHE SPEAKS, AS IF HER TONGUE GETS STUCK WHEN SHE MAKES THE “R” AND “S” SOUNDS. WE HAVE THEREFORE SPENT EXTRA TIME WITH HER PRACTICING HER SPEECH.
