My Story

Hello! My name is Fabian Goduni. I am 16 years old and my birthday is on July 12th. I am doing well and in good health. My favorite color is green and my future dream is to be a chef, because I love cooking. I`m in a professional high school for culinary. My favorite subject is the kitchen, where we do the practice and cook with the help of our teachers. In my free time I like to play fotball or go cycling with my cousins. I like to be close to my family and help them with shopping. I live together with my family in Tirana. Our town is capital city of Albania and is a busy place. We live in private house and we have appropriated living conditions offered. I have five persons in my family. Our grandmother lives with us and we care for her. She is retired and receives a small pension. My family covers all that rest of what she needs. My father works in construction. He is working in weekly or monthly bases together with my uncle. He is not full time working and receives a small pay, just to cover whatever is most needed for our family. My mother is working as cleaning lady and she cleans flours and stairs of flats.  Same as the majority of ladies doing this job, she receives very less income, even not to be considered as something that counts. Even though, we are thankful that she still works and tries her best. My sister is studying at the university about social works. She is part of the Church of God in Tirana and she help with Adopt a Child. She is doing the Sunday school for the children of the church and of the program of Adopt a Child in Tirana. I am happy that since I have joined the program of Adopt a Child, I benefit help and care physically and spiritually. I really love youth meetings. We have that every Monday and we do bible study too. Those days we`re preparing for the Christmas drama and I`m really excited!
