My Story

Hello! Thank you for taking time to read my personal information. I am Fernando Jose, and I am 17 years old. I am in second year of my professional career to become an accountant. Currently, I am receiving my classes by Google Meet from 08:00 AM to 12:00 PM. I have Wi-Fi at home and I use WhatsApp. Since I have virtual classes, it is very difficult for me to comprehend the topics and therefore do the homework. After, I finished my homework I try with the household work. I missed attending the feeding program during the pandemic restrictions, I especially missed the bible classes. Thank God the program is open again. I walk 15 minutes to get to the program. My father continues working as a farmer for the municipality in the village, and he is the one who supply our home needs. My mother does the chores at home and watches over the family. Thank God, my family and I are healthy.

My family and I enjoy spending a good time, we usually share the lunch on Sundays and talk about anything; it is so fun. Last Christmas, we celebrated with our relatives and shared in the eve dinner. We attend Catholic Church and we walk 20 minutes to get there. My family and I missed a lot to attend masses during the pandemic time to hear God´s word; now we are attending again. We live in our property; there are 2 room and a separate kitchen. Those are made of block, terrace and ceramic floor. We have water and electricity services. Fortunately, the house is in good condition. Let me tell you that at the beginning of the pandemic, my father was not working for a time and was hard for us. Nevertheless, we were blessed with food parcels from Living Water and it was really useful to us to go ahead. My family and I are so grateful for the support that we receive through the program. In closing, I want to let you know that the LW team called us and asked for this updated information, they gave us a date in the program, and my mother provided it to them in person. I say goodbye to you and I hope to receive news from you soon. Many blessings!

Lots of love,

Fernando Jose Garcia Obregon
