My Story

It is such a blessing to greet you through this letter. How are you doing? I am Kender Ezequiel Poron Lara and I am 13 years old. I am in good health and I am doing my best at school as a sixth-grade student. After coming back from school, I usually sweep and tidy my room to contribute to the housework. I prefer the cold weather because it is more pleasant than hot. I have attended the feeding program for about three years. My mother took me there because she received so much help from her sponsor when she was a child. She used to enjoy all the activities organized by the LW staff because they were engaging. Today, she is a healthy woman and keeps busy taking care of our family.

My father is also in good health and works hard as a mason’s helper to bring food home. We do not attend any church at the moment. However, we know that God sent his son to the earth in order to save us from our sins. Sister Raquel (a member of the LW staff) recently shared a verse from the Bible with my mother as an encouragement to look for God. I will leave you now, but I hope you enjoyed reading my information. I look forward to hearing from you soon. 

Cordilly yours,

Kender Ezequiel Poron Lara
