My Story

Hello! My name is Ajni Zito. I am 6 years old and my birthday is on February 4^th. I am doing well and in good health. My favorite color is red and my future dream is to be a doctor. Same as all children, I enjoy playing outside with my friends for long hours during the day. I frequented the preschool kindergarten till June and at present, I am enjoying the time off we get for the summer. I will start on September the first grade at school and I am very excited for this new start. Attending school, I will get to know who are going to be my class friends and my first class teacher. Meantime, I play with my friends games with ball as well as other games like run races, hide and seek, etc. My family lives in Katjel and is contained from seven persons. I live with my parents, grandmother, my sister and two brothers. My father has emigrated in Austria and during this year he has been able to work for nine months in construction in order to provide for our family what we need the most for the living. My mother is staying in the house and deals with housekeeping, cleaning, cooking and she spends a lot of time to care for my sister who is paralyzed. My sister was born this way and she is considered invalid. She receives an invalid pension and my mother is also benefiting a special amount that is delivered for people who care for invalids. One of my brothers is 8 years old and he finished on June the third grade at school. My other brother is my twin-brother. We are both equally the same in things we do and games we play. He will also frequent the first grade in the same class I will also frequent. My grandmother is retired and she receives a village pension. When my mother gets too busy, my grandmother helps her with the housekeeping, cooking and with other things that need to be done. We own land in the village, but my family has not planted a whole lot. My mother and grandmother have planted only a small portion of land. Usually they plant vegetables for consumption. My father is working in emigration in construction. He lays tiles and he gets paid well, and when he returns in the village, he brings income that we use for the living. He has a car that he uses for his own transportation to his job and while traveling to Austria. My brothers and I frequent the program and my sister is also benefiting food boxes every six weeks. My brothers and I go to the activities of the program constantly and we are happy that we learn about the Lord in the Bible classes and during the summer we have a lot of other activities that are a lot of fun to be part of. Thank you for your support and generous care. God bless you.
