Wilguens (also known as Jacque) is a “different little boy.” You would hardly know he is here or there! Wilguens is now nine years old; he is the brother of Fabiola. He will be in the fifth grade in the fall. Wilguens is quiet and shy, and I don’t think I have seen him in a week or two! Ha! But he is here… He loves to play outdoors with his brothers, and he is also very intelligent. He loves to read the Bible and sing with the other children.

His mother died when he was young, and his father could not care for him. Sometimes he would leave the children alone for days, looking for work. Both children became malnourished. When his father came back to see them, he thought it best to take them to an orphanage. He brought them first to Social Services and they, in turn, brought them to our orphanage. Both children adapted very quickly.

Wilguens is looking forward to school. He is a good student. He really hasn’t decided what he wants to be in life. He never stresses over anything, he just “moves along!” The kids call him “Grandpa!” Everyone loves Wilguens!
