---

Before joining MindLeaps, Butera missed years of critical schooling, which he has since caught up on through the accelerated learning program. He appreciates having a guaranteed meal at MindLeaps every day, because his family's socio-economic situation means it is often his only meal of the day. Butera lives with his mother, who works as a cleaner, and frequently worries that their home will be destroyed by a landslide during the rainy season. These concerns have motivated him to become a weather scientist so he can help others in similar situations.
