My Story

Many greetings and blessings to you! This is Cambri Veralis Coj Bartolo, and I am 13 years old. Before telling you more about myself, I want you to know it is a blessing to write this letter to you. I really hope you like my information. Fortunately, I am in sixth grade this year. I attend school in the morning and help my mom with the household chores in the afternoon. My mom works as a weaver at home, and I also help her a little with that labor. On weekends, I look for firewood in the field to use at home. What I enjoy doing the most is watching TV. I want you to know that LW blesses me with delicious food and medicine for free. This also blesses my family a lot. I love having fried chicken for lunch at the feeding program. The LW staff organizes engaging activities to celebrate Christmas. What I enjoy the most is watching the choreographies, dramas, and games. It would be wonderful to help the LW staff as a volunteer, but unfortunately, I cannot do it because I live too far from the feeding center to offer my time.

As for health, let me tell you that my whole family and I are in good health. My father tends a grocery store in the city. He usually works there for about five months. After that time, he works as a farmer in our village. I ask you to pray for health and provision for my family. We raise some hens to sell in case of need. My mom is grateful to LW for sharing the gospel with her as an encouragement to seek the Lord since we do not attend any church. I will leave you now, but I send you huge hugs by the distance.

Truly yours,

Cambri Veralis Coj Bartolo
