My Story

Today is a wonderful day to write to you and thank you for the blessings you share with my family and me. Best regards from Juan Carlos Calachij de la Cruz. I am 4 years old now, so I do not attend school yet due to my young age. I am in good health. I have the privilege to be part of the feeding program for one year. I would like to thank LW for serving us lunch at school. I spend time playing toy cars at home. I love when the weather is hot.

Let me tell you that I really appreciate my parents, as they are very hardworking. My father struggles to support our family working both as a farmer and as a day laborer. My mother stays at home doing the chores and taking care of the family. All my family travels to the coast during the coffee harvest from November to January. My father told us about his beautiful experience when he came to the feeding program. It was a big blessing for him. He wants us to have the same experience that he had. We do not attend a church. The LW teacher took the time to encourage us to seek God´s way. I say goodbye to you for now. Until next time! Take care of yourself.

With a big, big hug,

Juan Carlos Calachij de la Cruz
