This is Smith.

Smith is a 4-year old boy who is more street savvy than all of us combined. His mother has a small vendor cart that she parks in front of SALI most days, so she can sell sodas, snacks, and what not. Smith entertains himself by playing with other street children and random things he finds like string and boxes. He's been adopted by SALI in some ways, and many hours have been spent teaching him English, brushing his teeth, and playing games with him. There are some mornings when I find him helping Julio, our handyman, with odd-jobs around the place. He's even taught us Americans some Spanish slang. Sometimes it's easy to forget that he is 4, but he's a staple around here and we've all grown to love him.
