Jude Meli
Leader of our Partnership with Niños con Futuro in Ecuador
I have spoken Spanish since I was three. Growing up, I attended an immersion school in Manhattan, and the language and its culture have always been a large part of my life. I joined Unidos Por El Idioma to help children across Latin America understand and learn English. It has been a wonderful experience so far being able to talk, laugh, and learn with the kids that we teach.
