My Story

It is such a blessing to greet you by means of this letter. How are you doing? In this opportunity, I want you to know that your prayers and donations through LW-Adopt A Child has blessed many children in my community. I am Yeni Sarai Dominga Chivalan Riz and I have enjoyed delicious meals at the feeding program for about two years. What I like the most is participating in the bible classes and praying. My mother was able to enjoy the benefits that the feeding program offers when she was a child. She had a nice experience there, so she felt motivated to take my siblings and me there. Today, she is a very busy housewife and dedicates herself to raising and selling domestic animals to contribute to the expenses. I usually help her to feed the chickens and piggies alongside my sister, Domenica.

I am a healthy 6-year-old girl and I still do not attend school. I tell you that my father traveled to the United States a few years ago. Fortunately, he is doing well and keeps in touch with us on weekends. He works hard by growing vegetables to cover our needs monthly. I tell you that I like singing during the services of my church. My family and I attend the Prince of Peace Church. My mother is always encouraging us to learn more about God because she has taught us that He is our creator and Lord. She has confidence of having eternal life because she accepted Jesus as her savior a while ago. I will leave you now, but thank you so much for taking the time to read my information.

Affectionately,

Yeni Sarai Dominga Chivalan Riz
