My Story

It is a blessing to greet you through this letter. I hope you are having a fantastic day wherever you are. I am Juliana Griselda Benito Calachij, and I am in good health. What about you? I hope you are also well. I am 10 years old and have classes in the morning. I am in third grade at school. I usually help my mom to do the household chores on weekends. I am glad that many good-hearted people like you bless me through LW. I can receive medicine for free and food at the feeding program. The LW cooks prepare a tasty fried chicken. I enjoy it so much! Celebrating Christmas at LW is so fun. My favorite part of that activity is to receive a gift. May God reward you for trusting in this project!

By the grace of God, my family is in good health. My father makes a living as a farmer to support all the expenses and needs at home. He grows corn and cabbages to sell. As for my mom, let me tell you that she remains busy raising hens for our consumption. She occasionally washes clothes for other people to help at home with her income. My family and I attend Ebenezer Church. Fortunately, my parents accepted Jesus about six years ago. My mom has the privilege to serve as a deaconess at church. I say goodbye to you now, but I thank you so much for reading my letter. Take care of yourself, please.

Kisses and hugs,

Juliana Griselda Benito Calachij
