My Story

Hello! My full name is Adelso Orlando Grave Chivalan, and I am so happy to greet you through this letter. I am 5 years old and I want to share a little about my life with you. Because of my young age, I still do not attend school. I stay home and play with my toy cars. I made a good friend in my village a while ago. His name is Antonio and he loves playing soccer as I do. I live with my mother and four siblings. Fortunately, we are all healthy. My mother keeps busy doing the chores and taking care of us. I do not have my father with me because he had to travel to the United States a while ago.

He works as a butcher to support our family monthly. He does his best to be in touch with us daily. As for our spiritual life, let me tell you that we attend the Life Christian Church. We enjoy participating in the services, especially when our siblings in Christ thank the Almighty for their harvest. It is time to say goodbye, but I want you to know that my mother and a staff member of LW helped me write this. 

Sincerely yours,

Adelso Orlando Grave Chivalan
