My Story

My name Carlos David Zapeta Aquino, and I am glad to share my news with you through this letter. I hope you are doing well. I am a healthy 13-year-old boy. Last year, I finished primary school. I no longer continue studying because I stay at home playing with my siblings. I usually help my father to work in the field. What I like the most is looking for firewood on weekends. My whole family and I are grateful to you for loving and supporting me. LW has been a great blessing to us, and thanks to your loving support, I can have delicious lunches at the feeding program. My favorite food is fried chicken. My siblings and I enjoy celebrating Christmas at the feeding program because of gifts.

Let me tell you that my parents do their best to support our family economically. My father works as a day laborer for the neighbors. He also grows corn for the consumption of our family. We have hens, sheep, and one cow at home. My mom helps him to look after our domestic animals and does her chores. Fortunately, my whole family is in good health. My older sister Maria, is a girl with special needs. However, she is doing well. I ask you to pray for all of us so the Lord keeps us healthy. As for our spiritual well-being, let me tell you that we have attended a Methodist Church for some years. I say goodbye to you now, but I hope you like my information. Thank you so much for reading this letter!

Affectionately,

Carlos David Zapeta Aquino
