Meet Shawna

Hi, my name is Shawna. I’m 14 years old and was born here in San Diego. I am attending Preuss and I am in the 9th grade my favorite part about being in the community of house of Peru is volunteering My mother is from Peru, and I’m proud to also be a Peruvian citizen. I really enjoy the culture. I even went to school in Peru for a couple of months, where I learned to read and write in Spanish. That experience helped me improve my Spanish a lot.

I’m very happy to be part of the Peruvian youth group. It gives me a chance to celebrate and learn more about my heritage. I’m excited to support the group and share my culture with others.
