My name is YAMILE MARIA, I was born in November 3, 2001 in El Banco, Magdalena (Colombia). I use to live with my grandparents, my parents and brothers. We had a huge house with five rooms and beautiful fruit trees. We loved to climb on the trees to eat fresch oranges, mangoes and lemons.
We felt free and happy. I enjoyed to go to the river where I spent hours having fun in the clear water and watching the fish in water and listening to the chirping of birds. Suddenly We have to left our home, we travelled all night long searching a place to lot up a ranch with some wood and plastics.I felt sad for not being able to say goodbye to
my friends, my grandparents and it was very hard to understand why we had to leave our home.
Now I am studying in Estructurar Foundation, I am in 5 grade and they have tought me that I am a beautiful person which is really important for my self confidence. I am able to participate in group discussions and another complementary activities.
The Life has been hard for me and my family and I have to face difficult times like the divorce of my parents but I don´t feel alone because God is always with me and we have so many people who have been with us so long. We just have to live life in the way it is, there is a whole world expecting for me and my dreams¡
Thank you very much, your support means a lot for me and my family¡
