-Akakios Nomiki is a 13 year old boy from Greece. His single mother gave him to us when he was only 4 months old because she was too poor to provide well enough for a child. He speaks only English but would love to learn Greek to feel more connected with his heritage. He also believes he might have another sibling in an orphange and dispite our searching, we came up with nothing. He likes to play basketball, baseball, swim, and his favorite subjects are History and English/ Language Arts [he usually wins his school's spelling bees!]. He has a pet hamster named Anna [after his mother]. Hamsters require very little care: clean water every other day, being fed 3 times a week, and the occasional petting. Anna is quite lazy but enjoys being put in a wheel for a couple hours once a week.
-Aurelia Brigida and Cleto Demetrio are 10 year old twins from Italy. Aurelia is partially deaf, but can speak fluent Italian and partial English with no problem. She likes to play volleyball, sing, and she plays the piano brilliantly. Her true passion, however, is ice skating [figure skating]. She hopes to become a professional figure skater one day. Cleto likes to play soccer, mold things out of clay, and astronomy. He wants to study forensic sciences and help sovle cases of crime. They share a female chinchilla named Adora. All the info you need on maintenance can be found at the following link. Adora is about 6 years old, but chinchillas have been known to live anywhere from 15-20+ years. If caring for Adora is too much hassle, the children would be okay if you gave it away to a caring family.
