| Impact Report | Civil Rights for all home economics programs are taken into consideration from the planning to implementation stage. Here are some examples: •Annual Child Care Givers Workshop. Participants who speak only Spanish are assisted during the sign up process by a local translator. Translators are provided during the workshop for anyone who is in need of the service. In 2011 32% of the participants spoke only Spanish, therefore a separate track of workshops were created. The presenters spoke only Spanish during the presentation, allowing the particpants to learn in their native tongue. •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, one (1) diabetes cooking school was done in Spanish. Recipes and participant materials have been available in English and Spanish. |
