Catching up on school and lunches

Pamela Almeida.
Dear Peter and Kim,

Pamela is 14 years old, and is in third grade at CENIT’s elementary school.  CENIT’s elementary school often works with children who for various reasons are not on a regular school schedule: so although Pamela is older than most third graders and would be unable to study at other schools, she is able to study at CENIT’s school.

Pamela lives with her parents and six siblings: she’s the third from the youngest.  Her mother isn’t currently working because of having very young children at home.  Her father is an auto mechanic.

Pamela is very happy to be in school at CENIT, and someday she would like to study gastronomy, or design and sewing.  Despite not having much money, her family is very happy together – certainly CENIT’s healthy lunch is a big help for the family.
