My Story

Hello! How are you? My name is Julio Ariel, and this is my personal information. I am 14 years old, and I am in 6^th grade this year. I felt very happy when I found out that I passed my grade last year. I am sure God has helped me with my studies. I love Jesus, and He is my faithful friend. Armando, Rolando and Jorge are my brothers and friends, and I love playing soccer with them in our free time. The family member with whom I identify most is my dad because our character is almost the same.

As a family, we are now attending the Catholic Church, and we love it when there are vigils; they are held once a month. We are a big family, and my parents work hard to cover our basic needs. My dad, Carlos, works as a farmer or day laborer while my mom, Nazaria, raises hens for selling. We live in a village called Pacoc I. Eight of my siblings are registered at the feeding program too, and my oldest sister, Maria, helped me to give my information to the Evangelism team. I end my letter wishing you the best, and I hope to have news from you soon.

Sincerely yours

Julio Ariel Ajqui Gomez
