Good morning beloved Sponsors! I feel so blessed to be part of the feeding program from Living Water and receive your support. This is Vilma Julieta Calachij de la Cruz, and I turn 9 years old in July of this year. My dad is still working in the United States; he works in a dairy. He communicates with us and sends us monthly support. My mom does the housework and raises hens to sell and get income. By the grace of God, my family and I are healthy. 

Let me tell you, I have had difficulties comprehending the lessons at school, and I did not pass my grade last year, so I am repeating first grade again. I have a friend called Maria, we enjoy playing soccer, and we have been friends for five years. I get along very well with my mom; I like her personality. My family and I stopped to attend church. We are grateful to LW staff who shared the gospel with us and encouraged us to return at church and seek God. I recognize Jesus as my father. When I was very young, I got sick frequently, my parents prayed for me and thank God, now, I am doing well. I would like you to know that my mom shared this information with an evangelism teacher to update you about me. Take care, I send much love. I pray to God for bountiful blessings over you! 

Lots of love, 

Vilma Julieta Calachij de la Cruz
