,

Thank

you this is excellent information that I will share. The California Promatora Program is doing such a terrible

job in getting health education out to

our

farm workers. Does any one know

who is in charge of the Californa Promatora Program, where are they? Who is

monitoring this program why is

there

absolutely no information or representation in Del Norte. This program is a great

disappointment. No one in the 9

counties I work with in California

have even seen a representative of the Promatora Program,

who’s funding this? We have an epidemic of pterygium among Hispanic farm

workers in California

and no one in this program has even made an effort to

get information.
