My Story

Good morning! How are you? I feel so happy to belong to this beautiful Project. I want to tell you that my mother also was a registered child in the past and she has good memories about the delicious meals she enjoyed mainly when she ate fried chicken. She wants me to have the same experience in the Feeding Center, so I like to pray for my food there. My mother is grateful for everything. She helped to collect this information for the LW teacher who also prayed for my family during the visit and shared the gospel with my mother. Now, she is assured of her salvation in Jesus. Currently, we are attending the Full Gospel Christian Church and we admire the love and patience from the pastor to the members. I like to clap and sing during the praise time.

I am Mario Anibal Benito Riz and I love hot weather because I like to play with water. I am five years old and I am not studying yet because of my age. I stay at home playing with toy cars. I like to pray for my food in the Feeding Program and thankfully I am in good health.

My mother continues working hard to support me financially because she is the only one that provides for my needs. She is a weaver and she is doing fine. My grandmother, aunt and two of my maternal cousins live with us, and my grandmother and aunt share the home expenses with my mother. It was my pleasure to update you about my life. May God bless you!

A bunch of hugs,

Mario Anibal Benito Riz
