We are very busy these days preparing for our project launch the week of March 14th in Tizapan el Alto, Jalisco.  While Laura and Nate were doing their site visit with Dr. Roberto Martinez of UVM (Universidad del Valle de Mexico) just before Valentine’s Day, we had the great pleasure of meeting Dr. César Octavio Solorio, the director of the health center for the municipality.  He was very excited about the project and connected us to everyone we needed.

We spent a very productive half hour with the Presidente Municipal José Santiago Coronado Valencia and were then introduced to Lic. Gerardo Barba from the health department where we really hammered out all the details of the project, including food and lodging for the brigades and where classes and graduation would be held.  Stay tuned for more…
