My Story

Hello! I hope you are in good health together with your loved ones. I send you a cordial greeting and a strong hug. Thank God, we are well. My father works as a farmer and he grows green tomatoes for selling. My mother weaves typical clothes for selling. We raise some domestic animals. After school, I help my father with his job. I am in 3^rd grade at school and I like to learn how to write and read. I like to play soccer with my friends. I do not have clear idea of what I want to be when I grow up, but I would like to find a job and help my family.

At Christmas, I spend good time with my family and we prepare ¨tamales and ponche¨ (typical dish and hot fruit drink).  We also light firecrackers. My family and I attend Catholic Church, and I learn about God´s Word and I like to sing praises. I like to attend the feeding program because I receive delicious food and my favorite meal is fried chicken. Thank you for supporting me because it is a great blessing for me. Take care of yourself. May God bless you richly!

Hugs and Kisses,

Carlos Grave Luis
