INTEGRATED HEALTH CLASSES HELD IN REMOTE VILLAGE

Women in El Molino recently attended the first of five workshops led by Eileen Ranscht. These women never learned about sexuality and welcome the opportunity to discuss these topics in a safe, open workshop.

"We were ignorant so we couldn't talk to our children about sexuality" said Isabel during Eileen's workshop.

Workshop leader Eileen Ranscht met with women in El Molino on November 5. "We need to learn this so we can talk with our children" said Marili during the first workshop.

NURSING STUDENTS RECEIVE THEIR EQUIPMENT

Seven students recently received their equipment so they can learn nursing skills and continue their Professional Nursing career in college.

"Receiving this equipment and advancing my career makes me

even more determined to fight for my education" said Florindo (pictured far left).
