OCTOBER 09, 1989.

JOSE AND HIS LITTLE SISTER WERE BROUGHT HERE BECAUSE THEIR FATHER WAS PUT IN PRISON AND THEIR MOTHER'S WORK WAS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEEDS OF THE CHILDREN. BOTH CHILDREN WERE VERY TROUBLED AND INSECURE.

JOSE IS DOING MUCH BETTER NOW. HE HAS LEARNED TO TALK AND HAS BEEN GOING TO A SPECIAL SCHOOL TO HELP HIM OVERCOME HIS SPEECH PROBLEMS. HE WILL NOW BE ABLE TO GO BACK INTO THE REGULAR SCHOOL SYSTEM. JOSE IS A VERY AFFECTIONATE CHILD AND IS LEARNING TO GET ALONG BETTER WITH THE CHILDREN. HE HAS A BIG IMAGINATION AND LOVES TO SIT AND MAKE UP STORIES.

JOSE HAS A LITTLE SISTER WHO LIVES WITH A FAMILY IN THE CHURCH. JOSE IS VERY PROTECTIVE OF HER WHEN SHE COMES TO VISIT HIM AT THE ORPHANAGE. HE IS A VERY LOVING LITTLE BOY AND WE ARE BLESSED TO HAVE HIM WITH US.
