Visiting different places
Going places and seeing different cultures is when you realize how rich one is knowing more than one language. The places we have visited thanks to our daughter who plays on the Women's National Basketball Team we have been able to discover other cultures.

Mulitas Alvelo School Bilingual School
Wanting to teach others what I have learned, I helped my Director Mrs.Marilyn Colon transform my school in a bilingual School becoming the first in Aguas Buenas. I started with Kindegarten in English all afternoon and believe me it worked. Now we have the first grade and kindergarten fully bilingual just taking Spanish and History in the native language. -
Proud Teacher
Today I can strongly say that I am proud to be a teacher and to have taught others.
