Sembrando Salud Testimonials: Community Members M. Carranza and M. Catalan
Thank you to Sembrando Salud and their mobile clinic for the help I received for my eye surgery. Now I can see, and I am grateful for the access to the medication I needed. Thank you for changing my life!
I am a patient at Sembrando Salud. This clinic also helps others, and they have assisted me with my treatment and taken me to my appointments. I go to the mobile clinics at night, and I am very grateful to them.
PJC Testimonial: Student and Community Member Fernando Flores
I’ve been a part of Poder Juvenil Campesino (PJC) since I was 12. PJC is an organization dedicated to educating and empowering Farmworker Youth. The members of the youth group all have experience working in the fields or come from a family of Farmworkers and understands the trials and tribulations that comes with being a Farmworker. Becoming a member of PJC has given me the opportunity to grow as a person. Yesenia always stressed to us the importance of being able to articulate your opinions, beliefs, and experiences. She would often tell us,
“You need to able to tell your own story, otherwise someone else will do it for you, and they will get it wrong.”
This was difficult for me when I was younger because I struggled a lot with public speaking. In my years with PJC I’ve attended multiple youth conferences, where I’ve had to introduce myself, and explain what our organization does and what we stand for.
