Edwin's Photo Biography

 

Above:  Edwin has a big heart and a gentle spirit, as observed here as he holds his puppy!  In 2006, Edwin took classes at a technological university in Tegucigalpa.  His dream is to become an architect.  This picture was taken in December 2006 on the roof of the Leadership House.

Edwin grew up in an orphanage and did not know anyone in his family until 2005.  That year, he was able to find his grandmother and visit her home in a mountainous village called Corralitos.  Since then, Edwin is able to see his grandmother often!  Above, Edwin hugs his grandmother in her humble home.

 

Edwin came to the Micah Project in April, 2001 from another orphanage.   Edwin lived in that program for six years before joining the us.  He is one of our most creative boys!  He is talented in both art and music, and is developing both by taking drawing classes, drum lessons and singing in the Micah house choir.  Edwin is studying at the eleventh grade level in 2004.   Above, Edwin (right) poses with friend Miguel in 2001!

 

Edwin is quick with a smile and a joke!  When a group comes to visit the Micah Project, Edwin is the first to learn all of their names and make fast friends!

 Edwin tries to imitate the king in the Mayan statue.  This picture was taken on a Micah Project trip to the Copan ruins in 2002.  As usual, Edwin has his own interpretation of all that's going on around him!

 

Edwin is our muscleman.  He lifts weights at a gym in his spare time and is very good at the heavy lifting and construction projects that we often undertake.   ~ 2003

 

When our dental team came to Honduras in February 2004, Edwin worked as a dental assistant. Could this mean a future career in medicine?  Actually, he seems more interested in architecture, where he can put his excellent art and math skills to good use!
