My Story

I am so happy to share with you a little about me. I am Jorge Macario Garcia Morente and I am fourteen years old. This year, I am in the eighth grade at school and I am receiving four hours of classes every Monday. The teachers assign us homework to do at home and I deliver it on the day that I go to school. It is complicated for me because it is not the same studying only one day per week as studying every day. My father is working as a farmer and as a day laborer. He also goes to pick coffee beans at the coast in order to supply the family needs. My mother does the household chores and raises domestic animals for selling. Sometimes, she weaves typical clothes to sell and she contributes with the home expenses.

Fortunately, the pandemic situation has not affected us because my father continues working. We thank God and we have seen his faithfulness in our lives through our health because we have not gotten sick from the covid-19 virus. It has been a great blessing and a great help for us to receive the groceries bags from Living Water. My family and I thank you for supporting us. I want to tell you that one of the AAC-team called me and I gave this information by phone due to the current situation. Thank God, we are healthy. We do not attend a church but the AAC-secretary encouraged us to attend. I say goodbye to you for now wishing you many blessings.  

Hugs and Kisses,

Jorge Macario Garcia Morente
