OUR KIDS

Daniel continued...

Daniel was neglected, and his aunt and uncle were very concerned about him. They tried talking to Daniel’s mother, but she soon became sick and died. His aunt and uncle gained custody of Daniel, raising him as if he were their own child. When Daniel was older, he learned that the two people he thought were his parents were really his aunt and uncle, and when he learned about his past he became angry and rebellious. Because they were feeling overwhelmed with Daniel’s behavior and felt as if he needed more than they could give him, they decided to look for some help. They turned to Hogar Infantil.

Daniel is learning to deal with his feelings about his past, and in the meantime he’s adjusting well to his new school and new home. He is 11 years old, with many hopes and dreams. When he grows up he wants to be a teacher, like his teacher at school. Daniel is well-liked and accepted both at Hogar and at school. He is most famous for his infectious smile and his perfect rendition of a rooster crowing – it sounds very real! He is working hard and knows that Hogar is giving him a chance at a new, exciting life.
