New Profiles - Part 2

Here's some more profiles of our children, using some recently taken photos. First up is Ashley - he's now one of the oldest children in the home and we've been lucky to see him grow up over many years. He's a boy with a smiling eyes and a big determination to contribute to everything in the home's life. With his brother Hendrico they form the warm energetic heart of ECYCC.


Chrissie never fails to endear himself to anyone he meets. He's very inquisitive and it's been happy times watching him grow up from a toddler into a proper little 'man'. Chrissie loves play-time and his energy never drops - he's often leading the other small boys in games and trying to follow in the footsteps of the older ones.


Calvin is quite new to ECYCC but has quickly settled in. Sometimes quite shy on first impressions, with a little encouragement he gets involved and charms you with affection. He's really starting to find his feet and his new big 'family' at ECYCC seem to have had a positive effect on his development and confidence.
