Catching up after a late start in school

Anderson is seven years old, and is in second grade at the Manuel de Jesus Calle School in Quito.  He is the youngest of five siblings, and lives with his parents and siblings.  His mother sells fruits and vegetables in a nearby outdoor market, and his father is a construction worker.  His dad earns minimum wage of just over ten dollars per day, and his mom earns less: all income goes towards basic family necessities.

This year is the first time Anderson has been enrolled in school. Because he started his schooling late, homework help at CENIT is particularly important. He likes having help with his homework, meeting new friends, improving his grade, and having a healthy snack every afternoon.

Thanks to George’s generosity, Anderson will continue to receive important academic support at CENIT.
