Education,
Community and Family
Semillas
Para El Futuro and the community are in the second phase of “Discovery”
in which a series of neighborhood, common interest groups and
broad-based meetings are held to identify community needs on which
groups can work together toward common goals. Because it is the
responsibility of the community to identify these issues and
opportunities, we list below only those which prior meetings have
identified as probable “discovery items”. Those shown in bold are
supported by Semillas directly or through fund raising efforts:
-
the
health care clinic,
-
strengthening
education and self realization opportunities
for women,
-
food security and nutrition education via our Family Gardens program,
-
growing the town library and literacy program through a contract with
