My Story

Special regards from Zacualpa village! I am pleased to share with you that, by the grace of the Lord, my family and I are doing well. I am Jorge Cristian Ivan Castro Martinez and I want to tell you that we are grateful for all the support that LW-Adopt A Child provides to many children in my village. We pray that this organization keeps going in God’s work. I have attended the feeding program for about three years and what motivated my parents to enroll me there were food and spiritual guidance. What I like the most about receiving Bible lessons is praying. I am 11 years old and I am in sixth grade at school. After coming back home, I dedicate myself to doing homework. I also participate in soccer trainings.

I prefer cold weather because I do not like hot weather. I attend the Catholic Church alongside my family. The engaging activities like Holy Mass motivate us to persevere in our faith. I would like to serve in the worship band of my church by playing an instrument. I hope to have that opportunity in the future. As you know, my parents are able to support our family with the income they get from their business, like the pharmacy. I am pleased because my mother is assured about going to the Heaven because she accepted Jesus in her heart a long time ago and does her best to honor her Lord by having good behavior. To end this updated information, I kindly ask you to pray for my whole family and me so that God keeps us healthy as we have been so far. Until next time!

Best wishes,

Jorge Cristian Ivan Castro Martinez
