My Story

Hello! my name is Sandra Paulina Coj Ruiz and it is a blessing for me to send you my personal information. I am in good health and I am eight years old. Unfortunately, I am repeating the 1^st grade this year. I help to wash the dishes at home and my favorite clime is hot because I love to go to the river for a dip. I like to attend my church because of the preaching. My family and I enjoy learning about the word of God and singing. We are perseverating in the Catholic Church and we have accepted Jesus in our hearts, so we are assured to enter to heaven someday. LW teacher prayed for my family during the visit and my aunt Zoila helped to collect this information. She received encouraging words to continue seeking God.

I live with my maternal grandparents at home because they take care of me always. As you know, my mother is living and working in Guatemala City in the tortillas business. She visits us for a few days and then she returns to her job and she tries to cover all of our financial needs, but my grandparents also contribute to home expenses. My grandfather earns a living as farmer and my grandmother raises and sells hens, cows and sheep. I am thankful because my mother, grandparents and I are doing well. My mother is thankful for blessing my life through the Feeding Program with the tasty food. She enrolled me some years ago due to the support and good services for free and thank you for everything. May God bless you greatly!

Huge hugs,

Sandra Paulina Coj Ruiz
