JHOEL- ¨Child of the Week¨


JHOEL at Villa Israel Orphanage.


Jhoel has three brothers who live with him at the orphanage, Erlan (4), Samuel (6), and Brandon (8). He also has a baby brother who does not live at the home,but with his mother, and another brother on the way. Jhoel has been at this orphanage for a few months now and is really starting to feel that this is his home. Jhoel, being the oldest of all the children before Anna arrived, has a true leadership position among the rest of the kids. Jhoel is leadership material, and has become an example for the rest of the children at Villa Isreal.

Here are some interesting and fun facts about Jhoel:

He enjoys coloring, playing soccer and other sports, and watching movies. Something Jhoel really enjoys doing is visiting other places like parks or the public pool, which Nate and Kate have taken them to a couple times. He enjoys getting out. He also enjoys going to the Cancha (the outside market here) with his house parents and helping to purchase food or supplies for the house.

Jhoel is 10 years old and his birthday is March 27th.
He will be entering the 3rd Grade in February when he starts school.
Jhoel is studying addition, subtration, English and writing with Justin. His favorite subject in school is writing.
His favorite color is red.
His favorite food is asado (a type of meat).
When Jhoel gets older, he wants to work in a bank as a teller.

Please pray for Jhoel as he enters school next month, for his growth in the knowledge of the Lord, and that he would use his leadership abilities for the good in the house and outside as well.
