My Story

Hello! My name is Rigel Hafesllari. I am 3 years old and my birthday is on July 20^th. I am doing well and in good health. My favorite color is black and my future dream is to be a football player and to join a team to play. At present I frequent the kindergarten and since staring to frequent it, I have made many new friends. My favorite toys are car toys. I play with car-toys at home too, after my mother takes me from the kindergarten, around midday. I spent the time inside my house watching cartoons on the TV and like to stay close to my older brother while she studies his school books. He makes for me drawings that I can color and when my mother gets too busy with the housekeeping, he plays with me. I like to hide in the rooms of my house and he seeks for me. My town is beautiful because we have a lake. When the weather is warm, my family and I like to walk by the lake and I like to play in the park of our town for a few hours. I enjoy eating candies and every time my mother or father buy something in the shop, they buy candies for me too.  

My family and I live in Pogradec. My father’s name is Blerant and my mother’s name is Kimete. I have a brother who is at present eight years old. His name is Rei. Rei is also registered in the programme and we both started to frequent the church services and Bible classes. My mother comes along with us. She used to frequent the programme of Rodokal herself when she was a child. She was born and raised in Rodokal before she married and moved to Pogradec. My father is working in construction when he gets hired, so he is not working full time to provide a good income for our family. My mother does the housekeeping, cleaning, cooking and other things that need to be done at home. My mother is jobless but she has a lot to in our home. The welfare of my family remains not good and I am thankful that I have joined the sponsorship programme together with my brother so that we can benefit help and care.  

The Living Water Adopt a Child church in Pogradec has the services on Saturdays. After the time of worship, the children go to the Bible classes and there they are taking Bible lessons from the teachers of our staff. Before the church service, our Pastor is also organizing a special youth meeting where they can fellowship and study the Bible altogether. We have during the week a Bible study for the ladies, on Thursdays. Every six weeks, the children who are frequenting the progarmme receive a food package that is provided from Adopt a Child. The package contains rice, oil, pasta, sugar, etc. Thank you for helping us to care for these children and tell them the Good News about Jesus. God bless you!
