With a smile as warm as the sun of her native Veracruz, México, Indira Celene Betancio Loman, has embarked on a transformative journey. Today, she shares her passion for teaching as a bilingual first-grade teacher in the Franklin Township School District, in the heart of New Jersey, United States.

Driven by a yearning to live an enriching experience that would allow her to learn about new cultures, broaden her horizons, and gain greater independence, Indira made the courageous decision to cross borders. And the IAG experience has been the perfect vehicle for this exciting adventure.

“I am very excited to be living the IAG experience,” Indira enthusiastically shares. “A typical day in my life involves teaching Math in Spanish and working in small groups, giving them the individualized attention they need.”

But Indira’s adventure extends beyond the classroom walls. The IAG program has provided her with the invaluable opportunity to have her children nearby, who also attend schools in the district where she works. “I am very grateful and blessed to be here,” she expresses with deep gratitude.

Indira’s story is an inspiring testament to how the passion for teaching can transcend borders and build bridges between cultures. Her dedication and courage in embracing this international experience enrich not only her life but also the lives of her students and her community. Thank you, Indira, for sharing your light with the world through IAG!
