Felicitaciones Alma, lo mereces por tu trabajo en la literatura infantil. Los cursos multiculturales en USF sirven mucho para todos los que lo estudian, aprenden mucho sobre como funciona la cultura mixta aqui en los EEUU de A. Me sirve mucho lo que aprendí en tus cursos cuando estoy interpretando para latinos, y aún cuando trabajo con anglos que no hablan sino el ingles! Ma. Fca. J.
