Joshua always has a smile or a grin on his face. It may be a “mischievous” smile, but it is a smile, nevertheless. He is so smart in school that the teachers have a hard time keeping him occupied!

Joshua was “thrown away” in the weeds in front of our security guard house. He was malnourished, full of sores, always crying, and never happy. Social Services asked us to keep him and so we figured that God had left him at our gate for a reason! He was a fussy baby and I always felt sorry for the room mothers. He cried “all the time.” And he was so, so “fussy.” When he reached about five, he changed. Well, he still continued to make sucking noises with his mouth, but he changed in the way that he did not cry constantly. The kids call him “Sison,” because he is always sucking or making sucking noises!

Joshua is always “looking for something to get into!” He is curious but sweet! He tries to talk all the drivers into giving him a “ride!” (He knows he’s not supposed to do that!) He is so, so intelligent!!! He is in his third year of preschool. He loves books but he cannot read yet. He makes friends easily!!

Joshua will go a long way in his life!!! When we took this picture, he didn’t even look up! He was engrossed in what he was looking at right there in the yard!! He is an amazing kid!
