3 children are involved in the project “I want to learn” in this academic year. They are Luisa, Dima and Ilya. The cost of training for all three children is about $26,000 per year. All the children have already started their studies in schools and they have already managed to even take part in autumn celebration in our center, where they have been engaged with psychologists and other specialists.
This is our beauty Luisa in the second grade.
And here is Dima’s story told by Alla, a psychologist and supervisor of the family:
"Dima has a new teacher this year. At the beginning of the year she spent test tasks in core subjects, and all of us were very happy that he has demonstrated pretty good results and he has been officially transferred to the fourth grade! Dima now studies core subjects together with his other classmates, but he continues to take individual classes to fill in the gaps in his knowledge. His teacher enjoys his curiosity and celebrates the efforts in the development of educational knowledge. We hope that they will be friends all the yearlong!"
And this is Dima’s tree, he have made for the autumn holiday in our center.
And now Ilya has been involved in the project too. Here is what Marina, a psychologist and supervisor of his family, says about him:
"Ilya goes to school with pleasure now. During this month he have understood that learning could be really interesting and exciting. For example, he prepared his own textbook for Russian – the most difficult subject for him! And the most important thing is the attitude of the teachers to Ilya, that is very different from the last school - interest, friendliness, willingness to support and help when there are difficulties - Ilya is just inspired!"
They are very different and amazing children. And we are very glad that you are helping each of them to pay school fees, which, frankly, is not cheap, but that gives great results, changes the children and supports their families.
