Tia Founder, Laura Libman is honored to be asked to be a guest on this week’s Horizonte, hosted by Jose Cardenas. The program features discussions on topics of interest to the Hispanic community. The show airs every Thursday on Arizona PBS Channel 8 at 11:00 p.m. and airs again every Sunday at 1:00 p.m. For those of you who are outside of Arizona, Horizonte posts their shows online several days after airing (http://www.azpbs.org/horizonte/).
Connie Cone Sexton, Arizona Republic Reporter, featured Tia’s Founder and CEO, Laura Libman, in a beautifully written article, “How One Trip to Mexico Changed 100,000 Lives”, as part of an ongoing series in Best Life. The October 13, 2014 piece details the transition Libman made from aerospace knowledge engineering to International nonprofit management and the role friends and family played in mentoring and encouraging her in her new venture, or as the column is called, Laura’s “Second Act”.
Photographer Mark Henle took the above photo with Laura holding our Promotoras training manuals, entitled “Donde No Hay Doctor” (Where There Is No Doctor), published by Hesperian Foundation in multiple languages. The Tia Foundation is proud of our founder and most especially grateful to Connie and the Arizona Republic for drawing attention to our life-saving mission!
We just received word that Tia’s proposal submission for the Secretary’s 2011 Innovation Award for Women and Girls is still in the review and deliberation process. We are told we should have more information in the next few weeks. The update was provided to us via email by the Secretary’s Office of Global Women’s Issues at the U.S. Department of State.

Thank you very much to all our friends for your interest in our work and our progress with the Innovation Award. We all have our fingers and toes crossed!
