Herman* is full of energy. He has an excitement for life that spills over to all around him. It is rare to find him without a wide smile on his face. He is also curious. If we had to pick one defining phrase for Herman, it would probably be, "y por que?" He is constantly yearning to learn more about the world around him. It has been a joy to watch him grow during his time here from a hyper and mischievous 8 year old to the loving and happy 10 year old he is today. He is thriving in the 'Vencedores' (adapted education) program at the Amigos de Jesus school.
