My Story

Kind regards from the beautiful Quiche! My full name is Griselda Marina Grave Chivalan, and I want to share my latest news with you. I am 15 years old and dedicate myself to helping my mother with the housework. I admire her so much because she is always taking care of my siblings and me. We work together by weaving and selling typical blouses to cover some of our expenses. I am grateful to Jesus because He has always been faithful to my loved ones and me. Luckily, we are all healthy. About my father, he traveled to the United States some years ago. He still works in the butchery and sends us money monthly. He does his best to be in touch with us daily.

I want to share that I made a good friend some years ago. Her name is Yolanda. We usually gather to talk. To end this letter, I want you to know that my family and I attend a church called Life Christian. I enjoy participating in all the activities at church, but the most engaging is the First Fruit Presentation. See you later!

With much love,

Griselda Marina Grave Chivalan
