Greetings Keila,

 

My apologies for the delay in response—my email have been getting away from me!

 

Do you have more information on what you have in mind regarding a workshop at Mi Salud Wellness Center? I can coordinate details with the FPAC team to see if this is an area of interest.

 

Thank you!

 

Warmly,

Jessie

Hi Jessie,

In terms of a workshop @ Mi Salud wellness center;  we'd like to invite the community to learn about
growing/planting their own fruits & vegetables in their homes, particularly around the winter season, 
when many communities tend to eat less fruits & vegetables.  And also, provide the community with resources 
and tools to be able to do this and enjoy it, and maybe even provide some educational handouts.

Is this something that you would be able to coordinate?

Thanks,

Keila Canete, MPH
