My Story

Hello! My name is Samuel Gora. I am a 9 years old boy and my birthday is on July 18th. I am doing well and enjoy good health. At present, I frequent the 3rd grade at school and am doing well with the lessons. I am happy that I am frequenting a nice school that has nice teachers as well as learning ambiences. My favorite subject at school is Math and I also enjoy sports. I also like to paint. Right after I get off from school, I get together with my friends and play football or other sports. In my village we have a small park very close to home and I like to ride my bicycle around or walk together with my friends. During the evenings and when I am inside my home, I like to help my mother care for my brother and sister who are twins and at present are a year six months old. Spending a while to care for them, I give to my mother free time to do the housekeeping and cooking.  My family and I live in Bucimas. My father’s name is Ilirjan and my mother’s name is Elona. I have a brother and a sister. My brother’s name is Matias and my sister’s name is Sara. My parents are both serving the Lord and work full time for Living Water Adopt a Child with the centre in Pogradec. My father has been serving to the Lord since in the early days when the Adopt a Child started the programmes in the villages of Mokra. After playing different roles in this service, he is now a Pastor. My mother serves in the Adopt a Child office, buying gifts for the children who attend the programme besides doing other services as leading the ladies’ meetings, etc. Seeing them serve to the Lord faithfully and with open hearts, I also like to be like them. I have in my heart the desire to be a faithful servant of the Lord Jesus too, walking in their footsteps and doing what they do.  I am happy that I am now registered in the sponsorship programme of Pogradec. I will benefit every month a package of groceries same as all the children who are joining the Bible classes on Sundays. The Living Water Adopt a Child Pogradec is serving to the children helping them physically and spiritually and I am happy to be part of this blessing and learn from the Word of God. I am very thankful to the Adopt a Child for the care and support to me. God bless you!
