My Story

Hello! My name is Amelja and I am happy to present myself to you. I am 4 years old and my birthday is on November. I am doing well and my health is good, My favorite color is red and future dream is to become a teacher. I like to spend time to play with dolls in my house. and I also like to draw and color. I go to kindergarten where I spend the first part of my day. I enjoy going to kindergarten to learn new things and to play with my friends that I have there. When I am inside the house, I like to play together with my sister who is older. We share our dolls and toys while we play together. When she studies for school, I like to sit and color, so I am not disturbing her. We are during winter at present and for this reason, I am not going outside for long to meet and play with my friends. Again, when the weather is nice, we meet to play and I enjoy my time with them all.  I live in a village near Perrenjas. Our house offers good conditions for us. I have in my family my father, mother stepsister and sister. They are both older and I am the youngest in our family. They are both registered in the sponsorship program and we benefit spiritual and physical care. I frequent together with my stepsister and sister, the Bible classes of the church and learn about the Lord. The three of us receive food packages at the program every two months and I am thankful to Adopt a Child for the food that is provided to our whole family. My father works in construction. He works constantly and provides constantly what is most needed in our family. We have land and both my parents plant in it for consumption, mainly vegetables, wheat and corn. My mother is working more on the land since my father is working in construction. My mother at present is not dealing quite a lot with agriculture because she has to care for me and my other sister. We have around our land a few fruit trees and my mother collects the fruits to make jam or fruit juice to be consumed during winter. My older step sister and mother do the housekeeping together and while they clean the house, I also help them with what I can do to help. This year, my father has not worked for a long period of time in construction and we are challenged even more in our family. We are thankful to the program for every help and support that is given to us. God bless you in abondance.
