My Story

Hello! My name is Xheni Jacellari. I am 9 years old and my birthday is on November 7^th. I am in good health. My favorite color is red and my future dream is to study science and the lows of the nature.I will attend at the end of September the fourth grade at school. I have already received the books from the teachers and my parents have bought to me the school supplies so that I can have a good start. I enjoy learning and am an excellent student. I have reached high grades in all the subjects that we take at school but my favorite subject is Math. Schools were closed for the summer break from June and till September. I 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. I have spent the summer playing together with my friends. My friends and I play football or other simple games that we choose as we gather as hide and seek, run races, ride bicycles, etc. Walks are traditional in our town and at times we as family walk by the lake during the evenings. I always do my best to help my parents at home with all that I can offer to do for them. I like to run to the shop when my mother asks me to get something that she needs quick. My family and I live in Bucimas. very close to the town of Pogradec. My father’s name is Dritan and my mother’s name is Nertila. I have a 12 years old sister whose name is Natalia. We go together to school and Natalia is also registered and benefits help and care form the programme of Adopt a Child. My father works for the fire department of the town of Pogradec. He receives a monthly pay and we are happy that has this opportunity. My mother is doing the housekeeping and she is not working. She is carrying for both of us while we do our school homework and study. 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 the children 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.
