Welcoming Yokary Maria :-)


Yokary is my newest addition to the CI family. She is from Dominican Republic. She is 16. I chose her after Kanika had to leave the program. I initially thought of choosing a kid from Inida. But couldn't find any. But I am happy that I found Yokary as she surprisingly shares her b'day with one of friends. That makes 3 kids in my list. I promise that all three are coincidences :). Some information about her - 
She was born on Nov 7th. She is 5'5" and weighs about 110 pounds. She loves grammar and science and her favorite pass time is playing with dolls. She does general housework and sweeping at home and her talents include singing and dancing. She speaks Spanish. 
About her family, her father. Fredy is a laborer and her mother Rosanna is a homemaker. The approx. monthly income is $162. She has two sisters, Rosa Maria aged 13 and Yosmery aged 12. For home, they have a kitchen,two bedrooms with 3 beds and a dining room. The house has concrete walls and floors with corrugated metal roof. They have a Gas stove, running water in home. Electricity is available and they have toilet at home. 
So, all in all, the kid looks to be doing ok when compared to other kids. But I understand there are three kids to take care of and one at 16 already could be tough. I really hope I can help them in any way I can. 
Also Yokary looks very cheerful even in her older pics. I will try to share them some time...
