Hello dearest sponsor!  I say hello to you with much love.  I live with my parents, my sister and my grandmother.  My father works in maintenance and my mother takes care of us and gives us our food.  I am in good health, but I attend the clinic at the feeding program when I am sick.  At home, I help my mother to sweep and mop.  I strived hard at school so that I could pass my grade this year (2019).  When I grow up, I want to be a police officer so that I can protect people.

I like to play soldiers. We do not attend church, but when we come to the feeding program, they teach us about God and we pray for our food.  I like all of the food that they serve.  Thank you for all your support.  I want to ask for your prayers for my family and that God watches over my cousin, Frelin, whom I call my brother.  Also, pray that my father always has work.  May God bless you.

Blessings and much love,

Ian Gael Alvarado Hernandez
