Darren

Daren recently graduated from Senior Kindergarten at AOJ and will begin Grade 1 in January 2027. He is a kind and polite boy who loves playing soccer with his cousins. He is especially affectionate with his younger brother, Lian Adriel Cojoc, who is four years old. Daren can hardly wait for Lian to be old enough to join in the fun

‍

Daren is a bright child. When he was in K4, he could already identify colours and recognize the numbers one through five. His teachers could see how much support he was receiving at home.

‍

Daren’s mother, Hesly Adriana, is 32 years old and works for a hygiene products company. She is raising her two sons with the help of her mother. In recent months, the boys’ father has begun contributing a small amount toward their food.

‍

The family rents a home with water and electricity. The house is in poor condition, but it is what the family can currently afford. Daren’s grandmother, Mrs. Mirza Magdalena, is 52 years old. She prepares meals for her grandsons and looks after them while their mother works.

‍

Hesly hopes that a good education will open doors for Daren and give him more opportunities in the years ahead.
