Education,
Community and Family
Semillas Para El Futuro and the community
are entering a the second phase of
“Discovery” in which a series of
neighborhood, common interest groups
and then broad based meetings are
being held to identify community
needs, prioritize those needs and
seek ways
in 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”. They include:
-
the
health care clinic,
-
strengthening
education and self realization opportunities
for women,
-
public
health and nutrition education,
-
growing
the town library,
-
repair
of the community meeting hall damaged
in hurricane Stan,
-
job
training programs,
-
improving
potable water
supply,
-
street
repair and street safety,
-
flood
control,
-
fire
protection and paramedic services,
-
establishing
a “Casa de Cultura” and central
park for community events,
-
oral
history project of elders,
-
improving
the
schools
... and
more.
We expect the first of these
meetings to be completed in
the fall of
2007 and the winter of 2008
and will report
of them as progress is made.
