Flávia Letícia is a 16-year-old girl from Brazil. She was kicked out of her house by her family when she told them she was pregnant; as such, she was put into foster care. The baby's father has disappeared from the scene, which she deeply resents him for. Flávia is four months along, but she doesn't know what she's having yet. Flávia is a creative person and very talented with her hands. She likes to make her own clothes and is an expert at sewing. Despite her crafty ways - she can make practically everything from ragdolls to handmade cards to clay sculptures -, she has trouble drawing straight lines or following a set model, which is why she claims she will never be an architect. Flávia dislikes people who talk and gossip a lot, and she loses her temper quite easily; she is quick to forgive, though, and within minutes she'll have forgotten why she was so upset in the first place. Flávia would like to become a fashion designer. She has curly brown hair, green eyes and slightly tanned skin.
Erdene is a ten-year-old girl from Mongolia. She had lived her whole life with her grandmother, but unfortunately the old lady passed away six months ago; thus, Erdene was put up for adoption. She is quite smart and loves going to school to learn new things; however, this makes her look like a know-it-all and, in spite or her understandable curiosity, Erdene doesn't seem to realise that her constant asking "Why?" can get on some people's nerves. Erdene likes playing out in the snow, eating anything with chocolate, exchanging letters with her Australian and Finnish penpals and studying. Sometimes she can be a bit too gullible, and takes jokes seriously. Erdene has straight black hair, brown eyes and slightly tanned skin.
Cristóbal Javier is a five-year-old-boy from Bolivia. All of his family, except for himself, his younger brother and an adult cousin, perished seven weeks ago when their village was flooded by a nearby river. Cristóbal is quiet and withdrawn, and not very talkative. He has developed water phobia since the flood, and he dislikes boats as well. On the other hand, he loves playing with trains and recently has been asking for a complete electrical train circuit. He is very protective over his little brother, and scolds him whenever Agustín does something Cristóbal deems improper. Cristóbal often wakes up in the middle of the night screaming and crying; we believe that with professional help, his nightmares will be reduced in frequency and content. Cristóbal has wavy dark brown hair, dark brown eyes and tanned skin.
Agustín Mauricio is a two-year-old boy from Bolivia, and Cristóbal's younger brother. He doesn't seem to have strong memories of the events that took his relatives' lives, but he often cries for his mother and father. Agustín is an extroverted and outgoing child, but he has trouble playing with others, since he easily becomes more agressive. He loves chasing after small animals, watching TV and being read to, and dislikes potatos in all shapes and forms. Agustín has straight dark brown hair, dark brown eyes and tanned skin.
Serhiy Mykola is a one-year-old boy from Ukraine. His mother passed away from an AIDS-related infection, and nothing is known about his father. Unfortunately, Serhiy is HIV-positive as well, but ever since his coming into our care he has had no health problems other than an ear infection. He doesn't have many interests yet, but he loves musical toys, plush animals and carrot puree. Serhiy is a very calm baby who sleeps a lot, taking various naps during the day. Currently we do not know if this is normal for him or if we may be looking at early narcolepsy, so medical analysis are recommended. Serhiy has straight dark blonde hair, blue eyes and fair skin.
We would love to hear how the children are doing.
