This little guy who still sings “off key,” is now seven and will be in second grade! We call him “Little Samuel,” because we have two Samuels! But, this one is still missing his two front teeth!

Samuel’s father is unknown, probably Dominican, and his mother could no longer care for him, so he was brought to Love A Child by the Department of Social Services. Samuel is sweet, quiet, funny, and sings “off key,” loudly, in the church service nightly. In fact, he sings so loudly that everyone stops singing and starts laughing… but he doesn’t care.

He loves to spend his time playing and doesn’t like to go to sleep! He is in better health now because he was having a lot of stomach problems. He doesn’t mind work… he usually is “disinfecting the railings at the orphanage,” and picking up trash on the property. He now says he “wants to be a doctor!” We will see about that! Samuel is a sweet child. I hope he stays that way! Ha!
