Jose came to ESL class pretty regularly, but always seemed very preoccupied. His teacher took time to talk tohim and discovered that he had extraordinary artisitc abilities, bu tneeded to channel them in an creative way.
His ESL teacher got in touch with Jeri McGovern, Coordinator of the Fifty Plus Program, to find out if someone in her art program could mentor Jose in some way. Now Jose accompanies Jeri to the senior cetners once or twice a week, has bought paints and other art supplies, and has found a "home" among the seniors who welcome him and his talent. "I'm so happy!" Jose told his teacher.
His talent has brought happiness not only to Jose but to the community as well.
