Here's a special profile on Daniel just for the Paramount School, in Meridian, Idaho who is sponsoring Daniel and Blanca. The 5th graders participate in "Wacky Wednesdays" once a month. On that day, the children at school bring $1 to do whatever wacky thing is going on that day (crazy hair, dress backwards, dress like twins, pj's, etc...) and the $1 goes to sponsor Blanca and Daniel. Thanks so much Paramount School 5th Graders! (Note: Daniel is one of our special needs kids who we are trying to help diagnose and treat.)
Blanca also struggles with a speech impediment. Interesting, her three siblings do as well. She has al
ready received an operation on her mouth that has greatly facilitated her ability to speak. Blanca is at first rather shy, which is probably influenced by her speech impediment, but after she gains trust in you, she is far from quiet and calm. This girl loves to dance! When ever music comes on, she immediately starts to dance. Her hips just want to move. She also has a little bit of jungle fever as well, as she loves to hang from monkey bars and climb around in trees. The Tia's had only good things to say about he
r, as all report that she is usually very obedient and respectful of others. She is always willing to help out around the house and in what ever other thing someone might need help with. Something funny about Blanca is that when she watches television, she mimics almost exactly the dog ''lucky'' off of 101 Dalmations. There was one time that she was watching a movie with some other children in our house and as we were watching the DVD on our computer, the screen was not that big and the sound not all that strong. She sat right in front and it had to be 4 or 5 times that the kids or us had to tell her to sit down so that the rest of us could see. When I asked others to describe Blanca in one word, the response ''smiley'' was quickly returned. She is always smiling and it is one of those big smiles where every tooth is showing. It is rather contagious and one can't help but smile when you see her.
