Boys will be Boys!

Don’t let these next five boys we introduce you to fool you. They may be a little bit older, but that doesn’t stop them from having some of the kindest hearts I have ever seen. These are the ones who sneak hugs and snuggles when the others aren’t looking and keep everyone around them smiling and laughing.

Bless is one of those kids who seems to be able to get along with anyone. In my two plus weeks at the mission center, I think I have seen him at one point another interacting kindly with each and every one of the staff members and other kids. Bless always has a smile on his face and has a laugh that is absolutely contagious. He is always looking out for others and does things like making sure everyone else has food before he eats. Bless is also a hard worker. He can often be found asking a volunteer to read with him or practicing his writing. Bless enjoys making beaded jewelry, helping around the mission center, and spending time with others!

Kingsley is a very funny kid. He has made me laugh on many different occasions including when I asked him where he wanted to take his picture and he just went and hopped on Wisdom’s bike. This picture describes him perfectly. Kingsley is a free-spirit who usually isn’t in the same place for long. Kingsley loves to dance and pitches in a lot around the house. He is a passionate kid who wants to make sure things are done correctly. He, like many of the boys, enjoys playing soccer and spending time outside with his friends. Kingsley likes (pretending) to ride motorbikes, joking around, and working hard,

Joshua may not be the first person to speak up in a crowded room, but boy does he have a heart of gold. Joshua is always looking out for those around him and can often times be seen hand in hand with a little one. In the other hand, he tends to have one of the other volunteer’s electronics. He is either listening to music, watching some sort of video, or playing games.  I have never had to remind Joshua to share with the other kids and he makes sure that everyone gets a turn. When he’s not helping others or using technology, Joshua also enjoys drawing. He is an amazing artist and is frequently asking us for white paper and colors to perfect his skills. Joshua loves playing with others, sports, and smiling. 

Raymond can be spotted from anywhere due to the contagious smile that he always has and the bright clothing he likes to wear. This boy is all about the sports. From basketball to football to soccer, he enjoys playing just about anything that uses a ball. This means that he can usually be found anywhere except in front of the TV.  Raymond also succeeds in the classroom. He is a hard worker who enjoys learning and is on his best behavior at school (most of the time J.) Raymond enjoys sports, looking out for others, and being on the go.

If Obed cannot be found, it is usually because he is hiding someplace quiet with a piece of paper and a pencil. He loves to try to draw movie covers and pictures in books as accurately as he can. His favorite things to draw are superheroes and he is incredibly talented at it. When Obed is not drawing he spends the majority of his time making sure his princess and best friend baby Helena is well taken care of and fed. These two can usually be found hand in hand with Obed gladly obeying the toddler’s pointing directions and attempting to make sense of her gibberish.  Obed likes playing with his friends, taking care of others, and keeping the KCI Art Gallery full!
