My Story

Hello! I am Erisa sharing about myself and my family, while I am asked to get registered in the program in presence of my mother. I am 11 years old, and my birthday is on April. I am doing well and my health is good. My favorite color is red, and my future dream is to be a hairdresser. I go to primary school and enjoy learning. I spend the first part of my day at school, learning and playing with my friends and classmates. My favorite game we play while we are in school is volleyball. After school, I spend time with my friends that I have near the house for a while and we play in the roads. The weather is nice at present, and I can stay playing longer with my friends. The walks during the evenings are traditional in my town. My mother takes me for walks during the evenings, and I can play in the way by the lake. I spend a few hours studying the schoolbooks at home and I like to learn systematically. My favorite subject I enjoy studying at school is Visual Arts. I like to learn to paint well. Every time that my mother cleans our house, I offer to care for my brother who is a year old at present. He is a joy to our whole family. My other sister is also very young. When I sit to study, I usually like to make for her drawings to color, and during the day, I spend time to play together with her with her few dolls my father and mother have bought especially for her. We all like to sit and watch cartoons on TV.

I live in the town of Pogradec with the members of my family who are my father, mother, my two sisters and my brother. One of my sisters goes to school and my other sister is still in preschool. My two sisters and I got registered in the program and we enjoy going to the Bible classes of the church. My mother brings us every Friday to attend the Bible classes, and she stays during the service. We benefit help in food from the program constantly and we are very thankful for this help to us. Our family consists of five members and only my father has a full-time job to provide for us. He works as guard in a prison that is not too far from our town. My mother is not hired. She does everything that needs to be done in our house, cleans, cooks, pays bills, does shopping and she is staying in the house, so that she can care for my brother. We are very thankful to Adopt a Child from our hearts. God bless you all!
