My Story

Hello! My name is Ajni. I am 8 years old and my birthday is on February. I am doing well and in good health. My favorite color is blue and my future dream is to become football player and deal with sports. I like to spend a lot of time playing football together with my twin brother and friends. We play at the school sport field as soon as we finish taking our lessons in our classes. I frequented third grade primary school where I spend the first part of my day. I enjoy learning and the subject I like to study best is Language. I like reading and writing better than calculating and solving Math problems. After school, my classmates and I walk together and while waking we engage in games and conversations and I enjoy especially this moment of the day. During the evenings, I like to spend time with my family, especially with my twin brother. We play a lot together inside the house, after studying our school books and filling the exercise books as homework. I have another brother who is older from me and he goes to sixth grade of school and a sister who is unwell. She is paralyzed and all of us need to spend time carrying for her during the day, since she cannot move at all from her bed. I live in a village that belongs to the community of Prrenjas My family contains eight members. I live with my parents, grandmother, my sister and two brothers. My father is working in Austria now in a full time job. He has legal papers of staying and working in this country. We are happy for such an opportunity of working that he has so that he can provide for our many needs. He comes to see us when he takes off from his work, during the summer and during the national celebrations, like easter, new year, etc. He has a car that he uses for his own transportation to his job and while traveling to Austria. My mother is staying in the house and deals with housekeeping, cleaning, cooking and she spends a lot of time caring for my sister who is paralyzed. 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. My mother has planted alfalfa and is selling it to the people of the village who raise animals. She plants the land just so that it is not staying without use and it brings profit, even small. My mother has also planted vegetables for consumption in the garden we have close to our house. My brothers and I frequent the program and my sister is also benefiting food boxes constantly. My brothers and I go to the activities of the program twice every week and we are happy that we learn about the Lord in the Bible classes. Thank you for your support and generous care. God bless you.
