Thanks to Comfandi and Educambio for the scholarship they gave to my son, and thanks for the new library in Comuna 20, Siloe. Mother of Juan Sebastian Tellez - December 2019
Hi, my name is Ashley Sarai Betancourt Marin, I'm 5 years old. When I grow up, I dream of becoming a doctor to be able to help people, or a veterinarian because I really like animals. One of the things I like the most about school is learning new things every day, that's why my favorite subjects are art because I love coloring, and math because there's always something different to learn.

Hi, my name is Juan Pablo Beltran, I am 5 years old and I will turn 6 in December. My dream when I grow up is to be a veterinarian or a nurse because I like to help others. In school, what I like the most is that we can learn new things every day, but sometimes I wish they would lend us more toys. My favorite subject is art because I really like to paint, and the other is English because it is very interesting to me how people speak in other parts of the world.

"I haven't decided yet what I want to study... I like drawing, I would like to create a shelter for stray animals: to collect them and deliver them to people who can adopt them. I especially like rabbits. Sometimes I also think about being a firefighter to help people when they need assistance."

"Hey, my name is Loren, I'm 7 years old and my birthday is on July 9th. When I grow up, I want to be a veterinarian. In my free time, I play with my Barbies, and what I like the most about school are the English classes because I learn new things from other countries."
