Hello! My name is Sandra Hermelinda, and I am writing this letter to tell you how I am. I just turned 12, and I am well. Thankfully, I am doing a good job at school, and I am in 6th grade this year; I study in the morning. I help with the household chores on weekends. I have been blessed with lunches at the feeding program, and there, my favorite dish is fried chicken. I live far away from the program, but I am happy to be part of it. The Christmas celebration is one of my favorite activities, especially for the present. 

I live with my parents who are in good health. My father works as a farmer, and he always supports us financially. My mother works as a weaver to help with the income. We raise hens and sheep for selling, and we grow corn and black beans for our consumption. We are a family who believes in God, and we attend the Catholic Church. I tell you that my mother helped me to give this information to an Evangelism teacher, and she takes advantage to ask prayers for the family and our crops. I end my letter wishing you the best.  

Sincerely yours 

Sandra Hermelinda Calachij Garcia
