About

Milena was born in Santo Domingo de los Colorados, but the family moved to Quito shortly afterwards. She is the youngest member of the family. She likes studying and has found it difficult not having face-to-face lessons during the pandemic. She has particularly missed the dance classes and presentations wearing traditional Ecuadorian dress, which the school organised.

Hello. I began my final three years in high school at the end of last year. This meant starting new subjects, and some of them were quite difficult. I soon got into the new rythm though, and since then everything has been going super well.

Thank you to The School Fund. I am now starting my final three years in high school, so school and homework are becoming more serious. I am very happy about this and am enjoying the new school year very much. Again, thank you for this opportunity.

    Matata

    Kenya

    Matata is a daring young boy who believes that success is often achieved by those who don’t know that failure is inevitable. He is the last born in a family of four. His parents are unemployed and largely depend on subsistence farming, which has been negatively affected by frequent severe droughts. Most of the rural roads in his village are very impassable and this has pushed him towards achieving his dream of becoming an engineer. Since Matata was a young boy, he has always liked playing football not only at home but also in school and he was the goalkeeper for his school team.
