Healthy Lunches for Elena

Elena is 9 years old, and attends the Republic of Argentina School located south of Quito, where she is in third grade. Her mother immigrated to Spain eight and a half years ago, and Elena lives with her grandmother. Her mother visited Quito last Christmas, but it was very hard for Elena because they hadn’t met, and the separation was very difficult when her mom returned to Spain. Elena is currently working with a therapist at CENIT to deal with this issue.

Her dad is a construction worker in Esmeraldas, which is about 5 hours away on the coast.  Luckily, her grandmother is very caring, and provides Elena with a lot of love.

Thanks to Marc’s generosity, Elena will be able to benefit from a month of filling, healthy lunches at CENIT.
