"RAUL" IS THE YOUNGEST BOY IN A FAMILY OF SIX CHILDREN. HE IS A VERY LIKEABLE LITTLE BOY. HIS FATHER IS IN PRISON, AND HIS MOTHER HAD TO WORK ALL DAY TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE HOME. THEREFORE, RAUL WAS VERY DEPENDANT ON HIS SISTER, LUPITA, AS SHE HAD BEEN THE ONE THAT HAD TAKEN CARE OF HIM IN THE ABSENSE OF HIS PARENTS. SINCE COMING TO THE ORPHANAGE, RAUL HAS LEARNED TO ACCEPT HELP FROM THE PARENTS AND STAFF HERE, ALLOWING LUPITA TO ENJOY HER CHILDHOOD AS WELL.

"RAUL" HAS ADAPTED VERY WELL TO HIS SURROUNDINGS, AND HE IS HAPPY SPENDING THE WHOLE DAY PLAYING WITH THE OTHER CHILDREN HERE.

NOW THAT HE IS GOING TO SCHOOL, HE HAS BECOME VERY OUTGOING AND FRIENDLY. VERY RARELY DO WE RECEIVE COMPLAINTS ABOUT HIS STUDIES OR HIS BEHAVIOR IN SCHOOL. RATHER, HE IS VERY WELL LIKED BY HIS TEACHERS AND PEERS.
