SAMUEL- Child of the Week

Samuel de La Fuente


Samuel is 6 years old and is a delight to be around. Samuel is brother to Jhoel, Brandon and Erlan in this home as well. He always has a smile on his face and very joyful.

Samuel has his birthday soon on April 2nd. He is in Kindergarden at this time. He is learning his numbers and colors. His favorite parts about school is eating breakfast there and playing. Kristen (the newest intern) has been tutoring Samuel lately. They are studying reading and addition. Kristen says she loves working with him because he is so easy going and easy to teach. Outside of school he likes to color.

When Samuel gets older he wants to be a painter.

Thank you for your prayers for Samuel and the other children at this home.

Newest Intern KP

Why hello there,

My name is Kristen. I’m the newest intern here. I’m from good ol’ OH-I-O. I love it there. I graduated from Cleveland State University in May of 07 with a Bachelor’s in Spanish. I’m from a big family, which kind of prepared me for this opportunity here in Bolivia with IOU (as did the Spanish degree!). My family now lives in Texas and they’re a bunch of fun, beautiful, godly people who had a profound influence on my life and my relationship with Jesus and others.

So far my favorite thing here is tutoring. Who knew?! For me it’s really rewarding to see the kids learning and I get to spend some quality one on one time… This picture is of me and Samuel at Villa Israel.

So…yeah. I guess that’s all for now.

Have a fantastic day!!

Kristen

BRANDON- ¨Child of the Week¨

BRANDON

(Brandon and I (Michelle) pictured )






Brandon de la Fuente is brother to Jhoel, Samuel and Herlan, who also live at the home in Villa Israel. Brandon is an easy going kid, who I (Michelle) have had the privilage of tutoring since my time here in Sept. 07. Brandon is about 8 years old. Some things he enjoys doing are coloring, drawing, reading the Bible (someone reading to him), and doing his homework from school. He also enjoys helping with chores around the house. His favorite sport is Soccer. Brandon just started the first grade about a month ago. He is learning to read and to add and subtract. When he grows up he wants to be a policeman.

Thank you for your support! Please pray for Brandon this week for his new school experience, that he would learn to read and write well, and for his future. Thank you so much.
