My Story

Hello! My name is Kledi Rustemi. I am 15 years old and my birthday is on September 15th. I am doing well and enjoy good health. I have completed the eighth grade at school, my favorite school subject is English and I study hard to receive good grades from my teacher. Afterwards, I enjoy my lunch at home and I like to get together with my friends to play football outside for a short while. When I grow older I hope to become a police officer and help people.

My family and I live in Rodokal. My family contains five people and we live in a new home that my father built a few years ago. My father had a divorce before he married my step mother. I have a stepbrother who is 9 years old and attends school. He is also in the program. My grandmother passed away a year before and I still miss her. My grandfather is in old age, but he is still in good health and keeps strong. My parents care to supply his needs, even that he receives a small pension. 

My father works in Greece and there he is earning a better income compared to what he would earn working here in the village and dealing with agriculture. My mother works in our land constantly to provide a few food items we consume as crops and vegetables. My mother bakes the bread at home so we try to supply all our own wheat so that we don’t buy it at the shop. Both my grandparents are too old and they need special care. My mother cares for them especially while my father goes to work in Greece. We are very poor as a family and very thankful to the Living Water Adopt a Child for the constant help delivered to us. God bless you!
