Daniel (Daniello) is one of the sweetest boys we have! He is hard-working and a little “toughie,” but he is just adorable. He always has a yard-wide smile, is always ready to work, and is always “bare-footed,” with high-water pants on! Ti Daniel is ten years old (soon to be 11) and is in third grade. He is a wiz at soccer and basketball. In fact, I would give anything to send him somewhere to learn professional soccer! He is that good! Other than playing sports, he is usually by himself. He does not do well in school…

He also disappears and ends up somewhere he is not supposed to be. We found little Daniel during a Mobile Medical Clinic. His father had been “hit in the head with a rock” and died. Then, his mother died. The village people tried to keep him alive, but he was just another burden to them. We saw that his health was not so good, and we took him to our orphanage.

Daniel is a “tough little boy!” But, he is a good worker and so sweet. We do not know how long he will stay in school, but we are always ready to see what he is really interested in. When he puts his mind to something, he does it! If he keeps smiling, he will make it! The Haitians say, “Your face is your passport!” We love Daniel!
