My Story

Special regards from Pasojoc village! I am so happy because I know you are taking the time to read my information. I tell you that I started to attend the feeding program last year. My full name is Danilo Bernaldo Jacobo Portuguez Ajqui and I like attending the bible classes because I can pray alongside other children. I am 5 years old and I still do not attend school. I stay home and play with my toys and ball. I prefer hot weather rather than cold because I love drinking cold soda. I tell you that my grandparents have special privileges at church and I would like to help them. My family and I are members of a Christian Church called Source of Life-Jesus the Good Shepherd. Our favorite activities are vigils, prayer and worship time.

I am pleased to let you know that my mother is assured of her salvation because she accepted Jesus in her heart. Proof of the Lord's mercy and loving care is that my whole family and I are healthy. My mother dedicates her full time to taking care of me, while my father works in the United States to cover our needs. Fortunately, he is in touch with us and has a stable job at a farm taking care of the cattle. To end this letter, I tell you that my mother is grateful for the food, medicine, and spiritual guidance that I can receive thanks to your donations through LW-Adopt A Child. May God bless you!

Lots of love,

Danilo Bernaldo Jacobo Portuguez Ajqui
