More About Him...

The following was written by Crystal Fox, a woman who volunteered with DOVE for 2 weeks in July: I love Dauri! He was one of the first boys I met. Liz and I ran into him in Central Park and ended up taking him and seven other shoeshine boys for dinner.Dauri stayed with us for most of the day and I fell in love with him instantly:) He is such a sweetheart and wants to learn so badly. As we drove around the city we went over and over english words like left, right, straight etc...When I saw him the next day he runs up and hugs me and starts going over the words again. One day in english class Jenny and Jencen were doing colors. I was sitting by Dauri and he asked me how to say the one on his card.He wanted to get it right when they got to him and was so proud!I spent alot of time with Dauri and got to know him pretty well...I hate to pick favorites but if I was asked who really stood out to me, Dauri would be at the top of the list.
