My Story

Hello! My name is Anisa Velo. I am 15 years old and my birthday is on September 29th. I am in good health.  My favorite color is pink and my future dream is to be a hairdresser.  On September I have started the sixth grade at school and am doing well with the lessons. My favorite subject that I like to study the most at school is Biology. When I return home from school, I usually help my mother with the cleaning or with other things that she asks of me to do for her. I spend my free time playing and meet with my friends who live near my home. At times, we also like to have walks by the lake and fellowship between us. 

My family and I live in Pogradec. My father’s name is Panajot and my mother’s name is Dorina. I have a step brother who got also registered in the sponsorship programme of Adopt a Child. His name is Uesi. My father has died and my mother remarried and her second husband also died. At present, we are living together with my grandmother in a home that we are renting in Pogradec. From the second married our family was added with my step brother, Uesi. Now my mother is carrying alone for us both and she is trying to supply our needs and raise us. My mother has a job and she works in a small shop where they make pies and sell them. She earns too less and we are living with low income. The government is giving to both of us a special amount that is dedicated to orphans and out of that amount we can be supplied with food and clothes.  

The church of Living Water Adopt a Child in Pogradec has a children’s Bible class on the same time with the church service, every Saturday. During the week, other Bible studies for men and ladies are also taking place. The sponsorship programme of Adopt a Child is providing to the children a package that contains food as sugar, pasta, rice, oil, etc. The children get this package every six weeks and come together with their parents in our church activities. We are thankful to all who support our children in the church of Pogradec as we are serving to them spiritually and physically.  God bless you richly!
