My Story

I will start by giving you thanks for taking the time to read my update. I walk for ten minutes to arrive to the feeding program. I am Lester Manuel but everybody affectionately calls me Meme. I am 4 years old and my birthday was in February. I am not attending school since I am still young. I spend my time at home playing.

The people who live in the house are my parents, grandmother, cousins and me. Actually, my father works as a day laborer doing any kind of work he finds because there is no work due to the pandemic situation. My mother´s duties are taking care of us and doing the housework. She also improves the incomes by weaving typical clothes for selling. We are members of the Evangelical Church and now we watch services on Facebook and pray every day. 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 are praying for your family and for all the world. 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!
