About

Aquilino is a spirited and hard-working young man. His inspiration to work hard and stay in school comes from a piece of advice that his cousin once gave him. "He told me that through learning I can be a leader," Aquilino wrote in his application essay. He knows that education is the key to achieving his goals of getting a good job and being a leader in his profession. According to his teachers, Aquilino is persistent and attentive and his leadership potential shows through in the classroom. He is committed to finishing high school so that he may go on to find a job and be a leader in his community. He did very well in his first year in the program and would often call a Few for Change volunteer in Panama for help with his English homework.

Hi Aquilino,
I am Brooks Winner's Mom. He is a member of Few for Change and cares deeply about providing opportunities for you students in Panama. My husband and I are proud to sponsor you this year. May you have a wonderful senior year. Brooks speaks very highly of you! Best of luck!
December 2011 - My name is Aquilino Andrades Santos. At the moment, as a student, I would like to explain some facts about myself. When I began the school year, I was very content but as I got farther into the year, I realized that the material was getting much more complicated and hard for me. I didn’t do well in some subjects but I didn’t give up entirely and enrolled in night school. For now, night school is going very well and I want to keep studying and not be uneducated and I give thanks to you all who have given me the help to keep studying. I want to be an English professor and, in this way, converse more in English with all of you and some day be able to visit and greet you.
