One thing that makes Talita Cumi stand out from other children's homes is that because we have both boys and girls, we are able to keep families together. We have a couple sets of brothers and sisters and it is a huge blessing to everyone. One of the families we have here is Jose Maria, Luis and Valaria. Luis and Valaria are twins and are 8 years old and Jose Maria is 9. They have been at Talita Cumi since 2009.
Jose Maria is a boy full of smiles. He is open and always ready to greet new people who are visiting. If you came to Talita, he would be one of the first to give you a hug and then pull you off the play a game of Uno or Rumicub.
Luis is quieter than his brother. He can get into his own share of mischief, but he has a sweet heart. He is really smart and enjoys studying and learning. We spent one afternoon reviewing all the Bible stories he had learned for an upcoming test. I think he was just as proud to recite them as I was impressed to hear them.
Like her twin brother, Valaria is shy and quite but has a huge imagination. She always wears a long strand of yellow beads and a mismatched bracelet. She can't sit still long enough for a movie but would much rather be playing make believe instead.
Please pray for these three beautiful children as the continue to grow and learn at Talita Cumi. The are a blessing to the 'tias' here and we are so thankful to have them.

Jose Maria and Luis are in the middle and right, respectively. Juan de Dios, whom you met earlier, is on the left. Just in case you are concerned, I promise they are wearing clothes. The boys had just gotten done mopping and scrubbing the patio behind their house, an activity that makes shirt wearing rather impractical.
