Mensajeros de Confianza Meeting
Please save the date of the upcoming Mensajeros de Confianza meeting taking place on May 29th, 2009, noon to 2pm at the Pajaro Valley Community Health Trust Community Room, 85 Nielson St., Watsonville. Lunch will be provided.
The overall topic of this presentation will be Serving Oaxacan families in Pajaro Valley. Faris Sabbah, Migrant Education Program Director, will give cultural background and present an overview of needs and services to Oaxacan families; followed by a panel with Semillas students. The students are from Oaxaca, and work as interpreters through Semillas, a non-profit organization dedicated to serving the Oaxacan community and building cultural proficiency in our community.
This will be a great opportunity to learn first hand about an under served population, whose presence is growing (and so too their need for all types of services), although their voices get often “lost in translation.” Your presence can help make visible their concerns.
If you are planning to come, and have a question you’d like to ask, please feel free to send it to me in advance, so I can pass it on to them before the meeting.
Thanks for your support and participation,
Silvia Austerlic
