Zorro is a child who lives at Casa Ana. I had a gift from his sponsor to give to him, and I finally had a chance to deliver it yesterday. It was (drum roll please!!!) a Cubs back pack. It was SO cool! In each pocket, there was a little note or something for him to read. His 12th birthday was last weekend. He put on the Cubs cap that was inside right away, and he looked so cute! Until he came into Livada's care, he had never gone to school. So his mom will help him read the little notes and birthday card later. You could tell that he REALLY liked it and loved the attention. I can't get over how small he is for 12 years old, but then that's how all the kids are. I think years and years of poor nutrition haven't allowed them to grow much. I think the best word for them is "puny".
Zorro has finished the first grade and is already working on second grade materials. I think he's actually a smart little guy but just never had the opportunity before.
La multi ani Zorro!!! (Happy Birthday!)
