| Cristino lived in two different orphanages before joining the Micah Project in 2000. At 18 (above), Cristino is a friendly boy with an easy smile. He is a very good student; he always tries to get a hundred percent on his exams! He especially loves to study computers, and is taking a computer course every afternoon in order to become a computer programmer. In 2003, Cristino has been helping with the Micah Project website. He also participates in the Micah house choir and is a very good recorder player! He is known for his encouraging words and brotherly hugs! The above photo was taken in January, 2002. |
