My Story

I will start by giving you thanks for taking the time to read my update. I walk for fifteen minutes to arrive to the feeding program. I am Alex Eduardo. I am 13 years old and I will have my birthday in October. I am no longer at school this year because I started in January but after a month I desired to quit. Now, I help my father by selling fruit smoothies. In my free time, I enjoy watching television.

The people who live in the house are my parents, siblings and me. Now, my father´s job consists of selling fruit smoothies and sandwiches in the plaza and my mother´s duties are taking care of us and doing the housework. However, my father is selling the snacks from our house because of the pandemic situation. Fortunately, he is working normally. We are members of the Evangelical Church, but now we take time to pray and sing at home. I am grateful to God because we all are in good health. In spite of the hard health situation that we are currently facing in our country, our Lord has been taking care of us. We trust in our Lord's mercy and that He will put His healing hands over all people who are suffering during this pandemic. I would like to receive a letter from you and have the opportunity to share our life experiences with each other.

Thinking of you!
