MEXICO

On 11.04.2019.Ruđer Bošković School in Belgrade, presentations from different areas of the Mexican culture were held. Students with their teachers Marina Milovanović and Suzana Amanović prepared typical Mexican cuisine meals according to the original recipes, such as Guacamole, Tortilla, Burritos, Pico de Gallo, Churros etc. The presentation on Mexican food was held by Ms. Eloise Mendez. After the presentation and food tasting, students sold the food they made themselves to the teachers and other students, and money was raised for humanitarian purposes. After that, the youngest ones, grade 4 and grade 5 had the opportunity to briefly travel with Ms.Eloise Mendes, Marina Milovanović and Juliana Merdović to Mexico and to get acquainted with the Mexican idols, which were taken after the presentation. Both the elderly and younger students showed great interest in the topics covered, which they were familiar with and met with in regular Spanish language classes. Special thanks for the activities we owe to Mrs. Eloise Beatris Mendes Gutieres, who was born in Mexico, where she completed her studies in Sociology. She lectured at the University of Mexico for fifteen years, taught at the University of Bolivia, at the University of Honduras, and was a guest lecturer at the University of Kragujevac.

She has lived in the United States, Bolivia, Argentina, Uruguay, Venezuela, Honduras and Nigeria, and currently lives in Belgrade.
