Kevin Starts School

It took some time, but we were blessed to find a school in town that could address, and teach, Kevin’s needs. This is just the program that he has needed. His learning curve has been a little slow due to some unfortunate circumstances in his past, but his desire to go to school is still rampant. School is simple.  Through its simplicity though, it makes it easier for him to learn. It allows him not only to grow mentally, but also in his growth of being able to be apart from his mother (something we never thought was possible). Although his mornings start early –he leaves Santo Tomas with his mother at 6 a.m. –he is still excited and eager to head to school every morning. He is able to eat a small breakfast every morning at school, and his mother packs him a lunch. Here he is in his nice uniform and backpack. He is completely ready to head to school. This picture says it all.
