Mateo is a resilient student!

Mateo’s story is compelling. He is 9 years old, and his family is from a very poor part of the Ecuadorian coast. Although his family migrated to Quito, his dad still returns to the coast every three months to work, but earns very little money to contribute to their humble household. His mom works as a house servant about an hour and a half outside of Quito, and earns just a few dollars a day.

All of this stress, as well as other factors, has certainly taken a toll on their household: which used to be filled with domestic stress. The whole family has undergone extensive psychological therapy at CENIT, and are now living together more peacefully.

Mateo entered CENIT as an impatient and often naughty boy, but his teachers have noticed that his behavior is improving, and that he seems to be more interested in learning, and doing his homework. Mateo is 9 years old, and is in the fourth grade at the Otto Arosemena Gomez school.  He loves gym class, and especially playing soccer with his friends.

Thanks to your generosity, Mateo receives a whole year of academic tutoring. This opportunity offers Mateo the one-on-one attention he needs to grow as a student. Thank you for contributing to Mateo’s future success!
