My Story

Hello! I am so happy to greet you through this letter. I am Osman Rene, and this is my last news. My family and I do not attend church at the moment. However, my mother and I are grateful to the LW staff because they shared a bible message and prayed for us. We are thinking about following their advice to attend a church soon. They also collected this information for you. This project is a great blessing for us. We have always received their moral and spiritual support, besides their love of Jesus, our Lord. Sadly, my father, Mynor, abandoned us for another woman about one year ago. He continues working as a shoemaker and occasionally helps us with Q200=$25.62 dollars. My mother, Mayra, strives so much for our family by working in a stationary store and binding papers. Fortunately, we are in good health condition. 

I am near to achieving my dream of being a mechanic. So, I am excited because I am in my second year of training. I consider that face-to-face classes are better because you do not learn the lessons at home as you should. Paying for my school expenses has not been easy for my mother. Now, she is the only one who covers all the expenses, like rent. Our priorities are food supplies. Summer season is my favorite. I have fun with my friends by playing with everything related to water. This season is good to rest too. The English language catches my attention, so I hope to learn how to speak it someday. My seventeenth birthday was in February. I love having a delicious cake and drinking Coca-Cola or juice to celebrate my birthday. Soccer is the best sport, so I like it. I say goodbye to you now, but before I go, I want you to know we have parakeets. I hope to tell you about them the next time.

Sincerely yours,

Osman Rene Ramon Cuchujay
