Karla Munguía Colmenero

Karla Munguía Colmenero was 10 years old when she saw the image that would change her view of life: a family living in outer space.

This family was part of an attraction on a theme park and the members were holding hands, floating in a spaceship. Far away, behind them, Karla noticed Planet Earth through a small rounded window.

“Why are we going to live in outer space? What are we going to do to the Planet that we’ll have to leave?”, those were the questions that haunted her.

In that moment, at that early age, Karla knew that she was going to dedicate her life to the Planet.

Testimonials

Teachers share their words after listening to Karla's talks

You spread to all of us your energy, commitment, freedom to choose, humbleness and empathy to life! Special beings are the ones that one truly feels in life. Those are the ones who inspire us to keep moving. To me, you’re a role model. Keep living the dream, I will always follow you so I can be filled with optimism and hope

Luz Arredondo,
Eco-Club, John F. Kennedy School.

Kids returned happy and filled with knowledge and consciousness. You’ve planted a seed that is up to us, parents, to keep cultivating. Thank you so much”.  

Sharon Morlett,
Mother of a student in Colegio Washington.

To listen to kids in 9th grade saying that they want to pursue their biggest dreams, like be an NFL player, conquer the World (not like Pinky and The Brain). This is the first conference where I don’t fall asleep, I really liked you, Karla. ‘Miss, how long is Karla going to be here?’. Many wanted to be closer to you. I’m glad that kids know and feel that there’s people out there who reach their dreams, and they can listen to you, see you and touch you. Thank you”.

Irma Ruiz Monforte,
Maestra Nueva Generación.
