Anita's sister's wedding

We have two lovely housemates, both from southern India. Anita's sister (in pink) was married over the holidays. That's Anita (in blue) who went home for the big event!

Here's the stunning photo:

Migrant Education

Migrant Education advocates for kids/parents who 'migrate' seeking jobs in agriculture.

Most of my colleagues are from migrant families themselves - now established with higher degrees; bilingual teachers, etc. Together with parents and schools, we work to support this vital community/culture of the Pajaro Valley.

I'm in a new position in the department, coordinating the "Youth Advocacy" program which serves the Out of School field workers ages 16-21. We assist them to enroll in evening English classes, school and job training courses and we case manage each "OSY" until they attain their degree. Many of these kids and/or their parents work six long days in the field each week to support themselves and their family.
