Dear Sponsor, 

This is David, born in Yerevan in 2017. I currently live in ​the city of Yeghvard, in ​the region of Kotayk ​in Armenia, and go to Yeghvard’s public school #3. I am in 2nd grade. I am on the honor roll in school, and I like to learn new things, like my sister. I know very well that by being a good student I will become a better person and will be able to become a good professional. 

I go to chess classes in the afterschool program. I am doing well in chess in my age group. I love chess classes and our chess teacher. I want to continue improving and to participate in chess competitions in the future and get a grade. 

After my classes, I come back home, eat the tasty food prepared by my mom, rest a little bit, and then do my homework. My mom helps me do my homework. After she explains my written assignments, I have no difficulty completing my work. After finishing my homework, I draw pictures. If my sister has also finished her homework, we play chess together. That is how I spend a typical day. During the weekends, we visit our grandparents. 

I miss my father a lot, and may no child in the world know this longing, so that they grow up happy and without worries.  

Thank you, dear Sponsor, for your love and care. Many thanks for your kind work. May there be more people like you in this world.  

With best regards and big love, 

David
