Ambassador Garza Greets Young Student
on Her Way to Washington D.C.
“Violeta Hernandez is a remarkable
young girl who has already demonstrated strong leadership qualities.
This week she’ll travel to Washington D.C. at the invitation
of Secretary of Education Rod Paige,” said Ambassador Garza. “We’re delighted that Violeta will visit the U.S.
now, and hope that she’ll be part of an educational exchange
program in the future.”
Secretary of Education
Rod Paige met Violeta Hernandez, a young student at the Benito Juarez School
during his first trip to the Mexico in
2002. Then in the third grade, Violeta was chosen to welcome the
Secretary on behalf of the student body, and her articulate remarks
impressed him.
Last month they met again when Secretary Paige attended the Binational
Commission meetings, and at that time he invited Violeta and her
mother to visit Washington D. C.
