Dear Sponsor,

This is Lia. I recently turned 8 years old and am in third grade in the middle school of Vayk.

I always look forward to writing to you again and telling you about my achievements. I go to English, Russian, and dance classes in the after-school program. I am doing well in school. My teachers tell me that I have a talent for storytelling. My favorite subjects are Armenian language and music.

This year, I received two awards in my dance classes, and it motivated me to work harder.

My family and I go to Yerablur often to visit the graves of my father and uncle, and I tell them about my successes and difficulties. I miss my father very much. I will do everything so that he is proud of me from heaven.

I have many good qualities and only a few bad ones. I always help my mother with household chores so that she doesn’t get frustrated. I love animals, especially dogs, and I dream of having a puppy. I do everything to make my mother proud and happy. I feel that I have become more responsible and determined.

Thank you very much for your support…

I would really love to meet you personally.
