Maribel Serrano de Mejia
Maribel Serrano de Mejia is a teacher and principal at the public school in San José Las Flores, Chalatenango in El Salvador. She began her teaching career during the El Salvador civil war. Though she was a witness to some of the conflict’s most devastating events, she became one of the first popular teachers in the Chalatenango region. After working without state recognition for more than a decade, she was offered an official teaching position in 1999. She currently supports the Universidad Centroamericana‘s distance learning program for education students, whose Chalatenango branch operates out of her school.
