My Story

Good morning and may God bless you! I am happy to belong to this project, and I am going to tell you my little story. I am Apolinario Arevalo Chivalan Ajqui and Jesus is my savior. As a family, we are not persevering in any church, but LW team shared the gospel with my mother and encouraged her to seek one. She helped to collect this information during the visit. Her name is Dominga and she takes care of us. Moreover, she is a weaver and washes clothing for others twice a week in order to sustain us financially because unfortunately, my father is not contributing to our expenses anymore. Nowadays, we do not know anything about him because he is not in communication with the family. So, my mother tries to cover all the home needs. Fortunately, my brother Rolando is working as a farmer and he supports her financially. I admire my mother because she is a hardworking woman and she buys me clothing, but only when she can. Thankfully, she is in good health.

I was so happy when I passed my grade the last year. God helped me to learn all about my homework from classes and he helped me to achieve my goals. Now, I am studying the 1st grade. My best friend`s name is Wilmar and we have been friends for a long time. We enjoy playing football when we are together. I am eight years old and I am grateful to God because I am in good health. Thank you for your attention. I send you a bunch of hugs!

Sincerely yours,

Apolinario Arevalo Chivalan Ajqui
