Hi! I’m 8 years old and live in Cotzal, a beautiful place in northern Guatemala. I have one sister, and we spend lots of time together. My favorite subject in school is drawing because I love to create pictures of nature and my family. After school, I help by babysitting, and I really enjoy playing traditional games with my friends.

In my community, many families have small farms where they grow maize and vegetables. Some of our dads work far away on coffee farms to help our families. I’ve heard stories about a long, hard time called the civil war, but now things are getting better. With help from FH, lots of kids can go to school, and our parents are learning how to take care of us better. I’m excited to learn and grow, and I hope you’ll pray for us as we work together to make our lives brighter! Thank you for caring!
