Andres Looks Ahead to his Future!

Andrés is 11 years old, and studies at the Otto Arosemena Gómez School in the southern part of Quito, Ecuador. He is in the 8th grade, meaning next year he’ll start high school. His mother is currently unemployed, and stays at home cooking and cleaning. His dad sells CDs and music on the street, and sometimes paints houses or works as a DJ when there is work.

Andrés’ older brothers are married and live outside of the home, so it’s important that Andrés has good communication with his parents since it’s just the three of them at home.

He’d like to go to the Juan Pío Montufar High School (high schools in Ecuador are private, and students must apply), which is one of the best high schools in town. Since Andrés is a good student, he has a shot at getting in. Still, attending homework help sessions are very important, and have allowed Andrés to be a successful student. Thanks to Laurent’s generosity, Andrés will be able to keep attending these important sessions at CENIT. Thank you for your support of his future education!
