Naomi from Taiwan

UPDATE August 2024: We had the chance to meet Nathan and Naomi in July, when a group of children came from Taiwan for a weeklong visit! We really got to see the kids shine and learned so much more about each of their personalities than could ever be learned from reading their profile. If interested in learning more about Nathan and Naomi, please email Superkids@gladney.org! Gladney Superkids program is hopeful to travel to Taiwan in 2023. Please watch here for updates. If interested in volunteering, email superkids@gladney.org. We are excited to introduce siblings Nathan and Naomi! Nathan was born in 2014 and is 8 years old.

Naomi's favorite activities include listening to stories, playing games, playing with toy cars, running and jumping rope.

At school her teacher has Naomi read passages aloud from her textbook to help strengthen her pronunciation of words. Naomi is a first grader in elementary school. Her teacher stated she has good learning skills, and she gets along well with her peers.Nathan and Naomi live at the same children's home, where they are able to continue to have a close relationship. Nathan shares a room with 3 other boys between the ages of 6-12 years old, and Naomi shares a room with 3 other girls between the ages of 6-11 years old. Are you a family that can give the necessary time to build a trusting bond with Naomi? Give Nathan one-on-one time to help him focus on tasks at hand?
