Belarus: Kseniya and the President of the Republic of Belarus Aleksei Kolesnikov
Stella Kosma reporting from Athens (Greece)
After winning the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2005 in Hasselt, Belgium, Kseniya has returned home to Belarus to find that her life has completely changed. She has become the most popular kid in Belarus. Everyone there knows her and respects her for defeating 15 other Junior Eurovision competitors. But that's not all. The little Belarusian girl recently received a Letter of Appreciation from the President of the Republic of Belarus.
What about school, you might well ask? Well, Kseniya's education is now paid for by a special fund for talented children - but, apart from her new-found stardom, she shares the same daily routine as all school children. At the moment, she is doing her best to catch up with the schoolwork she missed when she was away in Belgium.
