pelaez-jemima

Educationalist and teacher in special education in the area of ​​hearing and language. Known for founding the association En el semáforo se aprende, a project for schooling children in vulnerable situations through social volunteer work. Reaching students in four states nationwide, she has also taken the project to two other Latin American countries, serving 230 students. The arduous teaching work she carries out on the streets has allowed for the creation of various spaces that raise awareness and foster empathy with society at large, engaging communities in actions that provide opportunities for local students. She began her career in the municipality of San Joaquín, Queretaro, Mexico, as a community instructor at CONAFE (National Council for the Promotion of Education). She subsequently worked in preschool, primary, and secondary schools in private institutions while achieving her dream of specializing to become a teacher of deaf students, which she later achieved in the municipality of Jalpan de Serra for four years. She has participated in universities as a Mexican Sign Language teacher and workshop facilitator. She volunteered in China as an English teacher at a preschool in Zhuo-Zhuo province for 4 months. She served as Education Coordinator in the municipality of Jalpan de Serra (2021-2024), looking after the educational interests of the community. During this time, she fought tirelessly to bring literature to the most vulnerable and hard-to-reach areas with the creation of a mobile library called the Biciteca Akari. Now she is at the head of En el semáforo se aprende, an organisation that creates educational opportunities, planning educational projects to implement in the streets, carrying out campaigns to promote resources and training new volunteers, seeking to be faithful to its educational values ​​​​by bearing the educational motto A Child is Worth It, and having teachers take these values out into the streets to teach.
