Juan Carlos' Biography Page |

| Although Juan Carlos left the Micah Project when
he turned 18 in 2009, he came back to us in 2011 with a desire
to keep moving forward in his life. We helped him to rent
a room in our neighborhood, and in 2012, we are helping him to
study in the tenth grade in a school in downtown
Tegucigalpa. Juan Carlos has matured quite a bit and is
focused on finishing his studies. Above: Juan Carlos

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! |
