Geovani

On our first day of painting and cleaning up around the home, we met Geovani. Geovani works at the Shalom home and was helping us set-up and assisted us with the work.
We fell in love with Geo and his humor instantly. He was trying to learn English from us and we were learning Spanish from him. Our group quickly learned that our attempts to pronounce Spanish were very humorous.
Another day, we were helping Geo move big rocking chairs out of the rain. He sat in one of the rocking chairs and motioned that he had a crown on his head. We learned the Spanish word for King as Geo was El Rey!
