My Story

I will start by giving you the thanks for taking the time to read my update. I walk for twenty minutes to arrive to the feeding program. I am Mardoqueo. I am 16 years old and my birthday was in February. I no longer attend school. I only attended second grade in 2017. I work as a farmer with my father and with other people. I contribute with the home expenses.

The people who live in the house are my parents, siblings and me. My father´s job consists of farming the land and he covers the expenses. Thank God, he continues working in spite of the current situation. My mother´s duties are taking care of us and doing the housework. She raises domestic animals. We are members of the Prince of Peace Church. 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!
