My Story

Pasojoc III, where your child lives, is located in an extremely remote area of the mountains in Quiche, Guatemala.  Life in this area is very difficult and very isolated from the outside world. It is a 3-hour walk to the nearest market town.  The people who inhabit the area are Quiche Mayans who can trace their ancestral roots to the ancient Mayan civilization.  They normally speak a Mayan dialect called Quiche; however, Spanish is becoming more common.  The climate is basically warm, but it can get very cold at night.  Houses in this area are typically constructed of adobe with tin sheet or tile roofs and dirt floors.  Pasojoc III is an area rich with natural resources.  It is a farming area where the inhabitants grow staples such as corn, beans, and other types of vegetables.  Many families also raise domestic animals such as sheep, goats, cows, and chickens.

Hello, my name is Deysi Luciana Idalia Luis Garcia. I was born on July 16, 2019, and I am 4 years old. I am a healthy girl. I am not enrolled at school this year due to my young age, but I spend my time playing with dolls and toy dishes at home. My favorite color is purple. I love cows.  My favorite foods are black beans with rice and fried chicken. I walk for seven minutes to attend the Program along with my mother. As a family, we are attending the Charismatic Group that belongs to the Catholic Church. I am under the care of my mother. My mother’s name is Ana Elena Garcia Coj. She is a housewife and takes care of me.  My father`s name is Juan Luis Ildefonso. He lives and works in the United States.  He earns a living by working in a dairy, and he supports the family financially. We live in our paternal grandfather`s house. It has one room and one separate kitchen. The house is made of cement blocks, a terrace, and ceramic floors, and the kitchen is made of tin sheets.  We have running water and electricity.  My parents pay for the services. We have hens and turkeys at home. As a humble family, our needs are groceries. This is my personal information, and I hope you find it interesting. I want to let you know that my mother gave this information to the LW evangelism team.  God bless you and protect you everywhere you are!

Huge hugs,

Deisy Luciana Idalia Luis Garcia
