My Story

Hello and greetings. Thank you for reading my story.

I am Erinda Gjona telling this story for you. I am doing well regarding health. My favorite color is green. I like to stay outside and enjoy the colors of the nature surrounding us. I enjoy going out to play with my friends and my favorite game is basketball. This game can only be played in school and for this reason, while we are there, I am happy to get a chance to play basketball with my class or school friends. My future dream is to study and become a lawyer and work as advocate. I frequent school and enjoy learning. My favorite subject is English. I am happy we take English lessons at school. As soon as I return in the house, I do my best to help my mother while she gets too busy in the house. I can do some cleaning, a little cooking and I fix our rooms to make a bit more of order in our house. I have an infant brother and like to care for him so my mother can rest. During my free time, I like to read or watch programs for children on television. When my parents are free we go for walks. I enjoy going to the park to play and while we walk, I ask my parents to buy for me candies or drinks to consume. I live in the town together with my family who contains five persons. I have a brother and a sister. I am the oldest child and care for them both. My father is jobless, but he goes to work in daily bases, when people hire him to chap wood or carry those in the apartments of people, gaining just a bit of income out of which we are to live. My mother is also jobless. She is busy though, doing cleaning, cooking, carrying for us, etc. At present she has problems with her legs and needs to see the specialist doctor. We hope she will do well after the visits. We live with low income and we are happy to join the program of Adopt a Child so we can benefit help and care. My mother frequents the church in the same time that my sister and I go to the Bible classes of the program. We are happy that we benefit food, education and special care from the church of Adopt a Child. God bless you richly!
