Hello dear sponsor Gordon and members of the Rotary Club of Nisku/Leduc.
I hope you are feeling very well, it makes me happy to talk to you again, to thank you for the support you are giving me to achieve my goals.
I'll start by telling you how it went.
The 16th was Father's Day and it was also my birthday.
Mom, so we put the celebrations together, we meet at the house,
We danced and played, we had a good time, father, my mother loved it.
I gave a chain and my dad a perfume.
Just like the school, we are still in the project of developing
an alebrije. We are almost finished and that makes me happy, because, it is difficult.
We are giving you the last details, the only thing missing is the color of the
alebrije and I think that will be complicated, but my team and I
we will try. In Spanish we have a project where we have
to explain what horror stories are, just as we have to
expose that and dress as a character from a story.
I'm also happy because I'm almost done the confirmation on
June 22 and it gives me great joy, the confirmation here in
Mexico is a sacrament administered by the Catholic Church and is
considered one of the sacraments of Christian initiation.
I say goodbye, thank you again for how much you have
Supported me these months. Hoping that you had a great time
this month, I hope you are well,
I send you a greeting and hug.
With love from Jesús Alejandro

Also on May 10 here in Mexico Mother's Day was celebrated, which day we celebrated my mother, aunts and grandmothers, at home we had a meal, we celebrated them, we danced, we had fun.
I say goodbye, thank you again for how much you have supported me these months, hoping that you had the best time this month, I hope you are well, I send you a big hug.

I hope you are well, first of all thank you for supporting me so I can continue my studies properly.
I want to tell you how it went. On March 21, they gave me grades for the second quarter, and I got a 9.9 overall average.
The truth is, I am happy with those results, since I am happy that thanks to that average I will have a good future and I thank you, because also thanks to you I have worked hard to continue learning and to make them happy.
On April 4 we went to some pools at Parque Regional Griselda Álvarez, we had a great time, we played, we went into the pool and the water was a little cold, we ate breaded shrimp and they were delicious.
We accompanied it with lemon water, very fresh.
At school we are in a history project, which is to make a poster or a triptych about how corn existed and how it descended, in the arts we are making recycled paper and it is very curious how it is done.
May 10 Since it is Mother's Day, write a letter on that recycled paper and thank them for what they have done all this time.
Well, I say goodbye, I hope you have a great time this month.
