Stephano is 10 years old and in the 4th grade. He loves to sing, dance, and play soccer (of course)! He loves working with one of our older "male" workers, Ducamis, but when he works, he works hard and always has a smile on his face!!! The kids nicknamed him "tortoise" (turtle)! This week, all...
These are some of our little guys here at Love A Child… Lucson, Noah, Samuel, Kenzy, and Joshua. (They look like they just woke up from a nap, but they’ve been doing a little work!) They’ve been playing for hours with some handmade wooden cars from our friend, Howard Budden! We can never figure out how...
