Garden Gate School

Veva is from Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico where she headed projects for a technical professional school and raised three children (17, 23 and 27). She moved to Columbia four years ago but her three children remain in Mexico. Veva thrives on being around young children. She finds that crafting projects, singing songs and playing games in Spanish makes learning a second language very easy for these young children.
