My Story

Hello! My name is Ansi Jarazi. I am 10 years old and my birthday is on May 15^th. I am doing well and in good health. My favorite color is red and my future dream is to be a football player. Schools were closed for the summer break from June and till September and I have spent the summer playing together with my friends and swimming in the lake. We are lucky that we live in Pogradec and have this opportunity. My friends and I play football at the school field near our home and have walks on the evenings in the streets of the town. Walks in our town are traditional for all people. I always do my best to help my mother at home with all that I can offer to do for her. I go along with my mother when she does the shopping and we carry the bags together. I will start the fourth grade at school on September and am very excited to return to school after the long summer break we passed. Because of the pandemic, we are going to respect the distancing during this school year and have to keep masks, but I am happy that we are going to take the lessons physically and not online. The subject that I enjoy to be part of the most is the physical education hour because this is the hour that we are trained in different sports.

My family and I live in Pogradec. My father’s name is Bledi and my mother’s name is Ervisa. I am their only child My father is working as driver and doing this job he is providing for our living. We are happy that he has this job even that he brings less income. The job possibilities in my town are very limited and we are grateful that my father has this job. My mother does the housekeeping and she doesn’t have a job. I am happy that I am registered in the sponsorship programme and am receiving help in food because we are needy. I am also happy that while I attend the church service and the Bible classes. I am learning from the Word of God about the Lord. Thank you for your care to me. God bless you!

The Living Water Adopt a Child church in Pogradec is helping the children in need through the sponsorship programme of Adopt a Child. The church has meetings for the children, youth and adults three days a week. On Monday we have the men’s meeting and on Thursday, the ladies’ meeting. The youth meeting is on Saturdays and in the same day, we have the church service and the Bible classes for the children. The children receive every six weeks a package containing food as pasta, rice, sugar, oil, etc. In their need for food this is a great help to them and their families. We are thankful to each of the sponsors for the great support they provide for the children in the church of Pogradec. God bless you in abondance.
