I want to take this opportunity to congratulate:

• Avit P a little boy from Thailand who is showing his ability to the world at a very young age.
• Kaya G from Australia for winning the contest this year which makes him a winner 2 years in row!
• David A from Australia for being a winner in the 14-18 WMD category.
• My teacher, Alejandro Mena , for his score of 48666 points in the Teachers/ Parents category, but mainly because he shared his time and effort with us!

• Teachers from The Colegio Internacional Montessori:  Mónica Zúñiga, Ana Paola Alvarez, and Lilian Moreno de Guzmán who even brought her baby to our school during the competition, Ruby Gálvez, and Ernesto (Neto) Gálvez.
