My Story

It is a beautiful day to send my greetings and I hope you are doing great! Praise the Lord my family and I attend a Christian Church; we go on Saturdays. My mother has accepted Jesus in her heart, and we trust in God for our salvation. Thankfully, I am healthy and so is my family. My mother is Celia Yolanda Garcia Garcia, and she is 33 years old. She stays busy with the duties at home. My father is Ronaldo Alexander Calachij Calachij, and he is 33 years old. He makes a living by working as a bricklayer in our village to support our family. Due to a lack of space at home, we do not raise animals or grow anything. So, we have to buy corn and black beans for our consumption.

I am Vidik Bradly Yadiel Calachij Garcia, and I am 10 years old. I am a fourth-grade student; I receive classes at school, and I like this because my learning is going well. Fortunately, my father has the resources to support me at school and buy what I need. When I grow up, I would like to be a mechanic and get a good job. English is a very interesting language, so I would like to learn it. I love drinking coffee, which is my favorite beverage. Football is the sport I like the most. I like Christmas time because of the firecrackers; I light some of them and I have a lot of fun with my siblings. On my birthday, I like to spend time with my family, and we eat a cake and I love it. I take this opportunity to give endless thanks for all the support I receive through Living Water; the meals are a great blessing for me, and it is an economic savings for my parents. The most needed items at home are groceries and corn. We thank God for blessing us and providing for our daily sustenance. I send huge hugs and I hope to hear from you very soon. Many and rich blessings!

Lots of love,

Vidik Bradly Yadiel Calachij Garcia
