I am working as a volunteer with the “Growth Art Center”. This center is Located in Monterrey, Mexico. It is one of the most big and most important center of the city, because it works with vulnerable population and is supported by donations from large companies.

My schedule is only in the afternoon, because I always work in the morning. Thank you for your attention and I w...
