[Gourvenec Family] - Volunteer work
June 2012 – December 2013.
During the Green Card process, I had
the best time, taking care of my three
children, supporting them in their
integration into American culture and
the US school system.
Integration proved to be successful, as
they are avid baseball fans and show
no signs of a French accent.
