I am very proud of Maria Blancas, Jesùs Reyna RN, BSN and I were her mentors for her internship with the Capstone Field. I think it was yesterday when she presented her project ” Building Capacity with the Training Needs Assessment: Community Health Worker Coalition for Migrants and Refugees (CHWCMR)” on June 6, 2018. We are very proud to accompany her, for her, for us, for the students of our farmers, for our agricultural workers. Today I cannot say anything about how happy and honest I feel about the success of María Blancas. Thank you for being a “Latin Pride” and a role model for many others.

Estoy muy orgullosa de Maria Blancas, Jesùs Reyna RN, BSN y yo fuimos sus mentores de su pasantía del fiel de Capstone. Creo que fue ayer cuando presentó su proyecto “Fortalecimiento de capacidades con la Coalición de trabajadores comunitarios de salud para la evaluación de necesidades de capacitación para migrantes y refugiados”. (CHWCMR)” el 6 de junio de 2018. Nos sentimos muy orgullosos acompañarla, por ella, por nosotros, por los estudiantes de nuestros agricultores, por nuestros trabajadores agrícolas. Hoy no puedo decir nada sobre lo feliz y honrado que me siento por el éxito de María Blancas. Gracias por ser un “Orgullo Latino” y un ejemplo a seguir por muchos otros.
