Please welcome Benjamin Kipruto, León Felipe, Anjali Devika & Ritu Indira!
Benjamin Kipruto is a nine years old boy from Kenya. He has been living in the orphanage his whole life after he was found on the doorsteps one morning without as much as a note. The caregivers are therefore not exactly sure of his birth date but assume he was around six weeks old at that time. Benjamin is very kind, helpful but also very ambitious. While in orphanage he was often helping with the smaller kids and came up with many creative activities in their pastime. In the past few weeks since he was told he will be adopted into the USA, he has been working on his English and has already mastered the basics and is acquiring new words daily. He has been practicing long distance running in a hope to make it to the Olympics and earn some money, and according to his trainer was one of his most talented students, and would love to continue with the training also in his new family.
León Felipe is a eight years old boy from Honduras. Then an infant he has been miraculously found unharmed but without his parents after the damaging floods in 2008. The authorities expect his parents were two of many victims of the floods. In the orphanage he has been given the name León Felipe and it fits him very well. León is very determined and strong willed. He is a very good student and has been fascinated by planes ever since he saw one. He wants to become a pilot, this dream however has a few cracks as León had problem with his heart since he was a baby. Later it was discovered that one of his heart valves is damaged, but for financial reasons he never had it corrected. León speaks limited English.
Anjali Devika & Ritu Indira are three years old twin girls from India. They've been given up for adoption right after their birth as their parents already had six older children at home and couldn't take care of two more. Despite their fate they are lively and happy girls and you can often see them running around giggling together. They haven't gotten many toys in the orphanage, but they have a little plush bunny that always sleeps between them and whom they carry around all the time. Neither of the girls speaks English at the moment.
Please let us know how Benjamin, León, Anjali and Ritu are doing in their new family.
