Highlight... Claudia Kalanyos

Take a look at Claudia through the years...


Claudia or "Dita", as she is known by most, is the youngest of her five siblings who are all in the care of Livada. Like all the children in our care, Claudia lived in the orphanage in Ludus before coming into our care. She loves to play almost any kind of game... she loves soccer, basketball, ping pong, phase 10, Remmy, Uno and more! She also loves listening to music. She is full of energy and a great sense of humor.


She does not like school very much and really doesn't like math, specifically multiplication and division. Claudia does enjoy reading, if it is a book that she is allowed to choose. She says that she only studies and learns because she has too and so that the adults in the house will be proud of her!


Claudia loves to have fun and is respectful of adults. She also gets along well with the other children, but does not do well if she is made fun of our told she is too little and will fight back when provoked. Claudia loves animals, especially cats and wishes that she could have one live in her room with her. She really loves her oldest sister Simona and can't wait to grow up and be in an apartment like her.


Claudia does not have a lot of friends at school and so she really feels close to her sponsors and is very thankful to be at Casa Ana with all of her siblings and the other children here. She has really bonded with her sponsor, Jamie, and hopes that she will come to see her soon and bring her soon to be husband.


As you can see, Claudia has grown from a little tom boy into a young lady who is beginning to care about her appearance and is now trying to be more feminine and grown up. Pray that as she continues to grow and mature on the outside that God will continue to grow her and mature her on the inside as well. Pray that she will do her best at school and that she will do her homework without trouble. Pray that she will find a good friend! Thank you for your prayers for Claudia and for all the kids in our care.
