My Story

Hello! My name is Henejda Karaj. I am a 17 years old girl and my birthday is on July 12^th.  I am doing well and enjoy good health. My favorite color is white. I like this color because it shoes purity. My future dream is to be a choreographer. I like dancing and see myself as a future choreographer. I successfully completed the first grade high school on July. During the past school year, the subject that I enjoyed to study the most was French Language, but I did well in many other subjects that we took from our teachers. At present I am off from school for the summer break and we return to school again on September. I am spending the summer holidays at home. I help my mother when she is doing the cooking and the cleaning for us and during the evenings I like to get together with my friends. We like to have walks around the town and in rare cases we sit in a bar to enjoy a fresh drink. All the people in my town enjoy walking during the evenings. We have in the town a park and at times my friends and I go there.

My family and I live in Elbasan, My father’s name is Selim and my mother’s name is Shpresa. I have a brother and two sisters. My brother’s name is Flavio. He is six years old. My sisters are Amelia 14 years old and Adelajda 22 years old. My parents are both jobless and for this reason the income in my family is very low. My father tries to work as hired and whenever he finds a job we have a bit more of income that is used to cover our family needs. My mother stays at home doing the housekeeping, cleaning, cooking and she is also carrying for us while we go to school. My brother Flavio and my sister Amelia are both registered in the programme and the three of us benefit help and care from the church of Adopt a Child in Elbasan.  

The schedule of our weekly meetings at our new church and Adopt a Child program in Elbasan is as follows:  On Monday the church has a youth Bible study meeting. On Wednesdays, the church has a prayer meetings and afterwards a Bible study meeting. The church service in Elbasan is at 10:00 AM and in the same time the children take the Bible classes. Since the program started to take place, we are asking the parents to come along with the children and be present. The children have received their first package of food and are constantly frequenting our church meetings being this way feed physically and spiritually with the Word of God.
