Juan Carlos came to the Micah House in February 2005 as a thirteen year
old boy. He is unique in the Micah House for several reasons.
The biggest reason is that he speaks more English than Spanish! He
was part of a day care program run by an American missionary who took him
in at the age of three. Juan Carlos is an avid reader and likes to read books about American Indians, the holocaust and anything in the genre of juvenile fiction! |
