My Story

Receive special regards from the beautiful Duenas town! I am so happy to share with you that I have attended the feeding program for about four years. My family and I have seen the goodness of the Lord by means of the loving support we received from this organization, thanks to your donations. May God reward you richly for it! This is Gendri Mauricio Marco Ramirez, and I am 12 years old. I like participating at my church because I can listen to the gospel alongside my family. There is even a special and solemn time to worship Jesus! We are members of the Catholic Church. Fortunately, we are all healthy, which is really meaningful nowadays.

My mother is a housewife, but works in a coffee farm during the harvesting time. My siblings and I usually help her to pick coffee beans during vacation before coming back to school. Currently, I am repeating the second grade. My father works hard in a plant nursery to support our family. My oldest brother and his family live with us, too. They contribute to cover the household expenses. Now, let me tell you a little bit more about me. I prefer cold weather because hot is unbearable. When I get to the feeding program, I enjoy my meals and then, I participate in the Bible lessons. At home, I usually help my mother to fold my clothes and do the dishes. This is all for now, but I hope to hear from you soon.

Huge hugs,

Gendri Mauricio Marco Ramirez
