We met Jean tonight on a Skype call - it was hard to tell who was more excited - him, or us! We have been calling him Jean Carlos all these weeks but found out tonight that he goes by Jean.
We learned that his favorite color is green, he likes to eat chicken, pizza, beans, arepas, and hamburgers, his favorite animal is "el dog", and he is super excited about getting to have swimming lessons and go to football camp. And you should have seen the smile on his face when he learned he'd get fireworks for his 12th birthday on the 4th of July!
Jean and the other Kidsave kids have been at a preparatory camp for the past 10 days and their chaperone, Juan Camilo, told us that Jean falls asleep every night holding the letter we sent him with our pictures and information about our family. He is very excited about getting to have his first airplane ride and says he isn't scared at all. Juan Camilo says Jean makes friends easily and likes to play and joke around with the other kids. He seems to be an easygoing kid who has enjoyed all the activities and likes all the food that has been served to them.
It won't be long until we meet in person! Only 2 more days!
