My Story

May God bless your day with his peace! I want you to know that my mother is grateful for the meals for free that I get in the Program from Pasojoc. I attended three years ago because the neighbors told my mother about the benefits for needy children and it is a big blessing for me.

My name is Juanita Yosenia Glendy Ruiz Calachij and I live with my parents. My mother dedicates her time to the family, and she does the housework duties. Moreover, she raises and sells her hens, pigs and cows to earn some money. My father earns a living by doing farm jobs, and he is a typical day laborer. He continues traveling to the coast to clean coffee plantations. Thankfully, my parents are in good health. I help my mother to feed the hens. I am 7 years old, and unfortunately, I am repeating the 1^st grade this year. My favorite weather is cold. I like to sing in my church and I love to attend the Sunday School.

We belong to the Prince of Peace Christian Church and we know that we need to seek God to learn about his word and become a good Christian. We are secure of our salvation in Jesus because we have received him as our Lord and savior. We trust Him. The LW teacher encouraged my mother to continue seeking God all the time.  My mother asks for your prayers for provision for our needs and health for our family. Well, it was a blessing for me to tell you a little more about my life. I love you so much!

Strong hugs,

Juanita Yosenia Glendy Ruiz Calachij
