Kellan is described as a lively, cuddly child. To view his original post, click here. Kellan was seen by virtual SuperKids in February 2022 and wow, he has developed into a happy kid, loving to learn new things and share his knowledge! Shy and reserved around the video camera, he was hesitant to sing for us but did hum the tunes of Paw Patrol while playing and interacting. Some of his favorite cartoons are Paw Patrol, Robocar Poli, Masha and the Bear and Shimajiro!

Nora will be turning 9 in August and I am so hopeful that she will have a family in process, ready to celebrate her double digit birthday in 2023! Over the past few months, our partner organizations in Taiwan worked with Gladney staff to complete a virtual Superkids trip since international travel as well as local travel within Taiwan was curtailed for pandemic safety measures. We learned some really neat things about Nora – and this was one of my favorites! “[Nora]shared that she dressed up as Santa on Christmas to help the school principal pass out candies to students. At that time, many classmates wanted certain colors of candies, and she was displeased because she thought having candies to eat is a very nice thing in itself already. She does [not] like them being picky. Yu-Han also shared that the way she likes to celebrate birthday is to share her cake with everyone. Anyone can join her celebration”
