If you missed last week’s Horizonte, you can still watch the program online. During her interview by host Jose Cardenas, our founder discussed our most recent project launch which brought us to our milestone of serving over 100,000 people in rural Mexico. She also chatted about our plans for next year, when we hope to work with the Nahuatl and Huichol indigenous communities of Central Mexico.

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!
Tia’s ‘teach them to fish’ model of self-sustaining health development is one of those featured as an example of successful collective impact at the 19th Annual Nonprofit Conference on Sustainable Strategies. This year’s conference is being held October 13th and 14th and is structured around the article “Collective Impact” recently published in the Stanford Innovation Review.

Tia is proud to be featured on the front page of the local section of the April 13th issue of Phoenix’s Prensa Hispana. Tia founder, Laura Libman, was interviewed by reporter Maritza Lizeth Felix last week.
The well-written article (in Spanish) explains Tia’s unique program and urges readers to celebrate Cinco de Mayo with the many friends of Tia at Manny’s Mexican Restaurant’s big benefit bash on May 5th in Avondale.
The fact that Tia is a finalist for Secretary Clinton’s Innovation Award was also mentioned (keep your fingers crossed for us). We are honored to have such a prominent and beautifully written story in Prensa Hispana, a respected newspaper with a long history of diligently serving the Hispanic community.
Keep up with the developments on the Cinco de Mayo event by visiting Tia’s website and Manny’s site too (www.mannysmexicanfood.com) and by liking Manny’s on Facebook or joining Tia’s cause page on Facebook too.
