Participants who speak only Spanish are assisted during the sign up process by a local translator. A special track of Spanish only workshops are provided to those participants. •Diabetes Cooking School. Allowances for wheelchairs, walkers, etc. are made when setting up the meeting room, planning group recipes, etc. Safety precautions are given to all participants regarding entering and exiting the building before and after class as well as during an emergency situation. Because of the high population of Hispanics in Lea County, two (2) diabetes cooking schools have been done in Spanish only. Recipes and participant materials have been available in English and Spanish. Because of the high population of African Americans in Lea County a diabetes cooking school is being coordinated with local residents. |
