Hello. This last term has been quite difficult. We had to do a lot of special activities, and then catch up on normal classes at the last moment. On the other hand, I finished the term with good marks. I try hard with each project, so I can reach the level the teachers think I should.
In my school we've been doing extra things such as planting trees in green spaces and participating in a competition about how to stop bullying. We had a university fair, too where I learnt about interesting courses.
We've also been taking part in the tests for INEVAL [a national system of tests to assess learning and teaching standards in Ecuador].
Little by little I'm preparing for the next stage of my life.
Thank you for helping make all this possible.

Hello and thank you! In September I started my last year at high school. I'm still considering what to do next. There are lots of interesting courses but I want to choose the right one. Thank you very much for your donations which have allowed me to get this far.

    Emmaculate is the last born in a family of three; one sister and one brother. Her parents rely on subsistence farming for livelihood, which has been greatly affected by the changing climate. While in primary school, Emmaculate spent most of the time at home while the other students were at school. This was because of lack of finances to cater for some of the requirements at school. This did not stop her but instead propelled her towards achieving her dream of becoming a cardiologist in order to save lives. Her role model is Barack Obama and she likes his phrase of ‘Yes we can’. Moreover, she likes reading story books during her free time.
