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.

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.
Over the last 6 months I've learnt a lot of things. The best for me has been improving in English - we now have interactive classes and it's much easier to learn in this way. Apart from the academic side of things, I've learnt to value my friendships, to know who I am and to believe strongly in what I want to do.
