The Future of Hispanic Health Projects
Is with our teens of today
Is in the lessons we learn from each other
Is in the understanding that there are different models of education
Is in knowing that we can use different media to promote the message
Is in the knowledge that we must first listen to what the community needs before we can begin to help!
