Wilkinson-Lee made regular trips across the border to visit family I can really immerse myself in both cultures," she said "But I also saw the reality of the differences between what it's like to live in the U.S She also experienced how the people of the tight-knit community Pueblo Nuevo took care of one another especially regarding public health matters She watched her father and his coworkers at the local copper smelter go on strike with the common goals of equitable wages and a healthier Fast forward a few decades to when Wilkinson-Lee was a pre-med junior at the University of Arizona, taking classes in the Department of Mexican American Studies with an emphasis on Latino health. The first public health class she took was taught by Antonio Estrada a professor emeritus whose career has focused on Hispanic health "I just kind of fell in love with it – it was the first time that I was seeing those connections between what is often considered traditional STEM sciences and the public health aspect of prevention science," she said "That kind of shifted my whole mindset toward public health." Now, as an associate professor of Mexican American studies in the U of A College of Social and Behavioral Sciences Wilkinson-Lee has focused her career on serving the public health needs of communities like Pueblo Nuevo.  "I oftentimes want to make sure that we're recognizing the cultural assets of the Mexican community and not just the deficits," she said "What we're trying to tap into is the cultural resilience the social support and the cultural factors that really help drive resiliency of the community I was able to experience that firsthand living on the border seeing how people come together and help each other." Wilkinson-Lee's latest project, which she helps lead as a co-principal investigator in the Arizona Prevention Research Center sets out to address loneliness and social isolation among older residents in border communities and rural communities across Arizona The project is called Together Across Generations (TAG): Implementing Translating and Disseminating Evidence-Based Strategies to Reduce Social Isolation and Loneliness and Promote Intergenerational Connections Across Arizona The Arizona Prevention Research Center, known as AzPRC, is based in the Mel & Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health and has supported research projects to address health disparities in communities across Arizona for more than 25 years.  The center's work relies mainly on funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention which is funding the TAG project on loneliness and social isolation with roughly $5 million over the next five years The funding cycle for the project officially begins next month.  The project follows a 2023 report by the U.S surgeon general that shows loneliness may be a better predictor for death than smoking Ada Wilkinson-Lee has been a terrific leader of the most recent and new core research projects of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-funded Arizona Prevention Research Center," said TAG project co-investigator Scott Carvajal a professor in the Zuckerman College of Public Health and co-director of the AzPRC with Maia Ingram The TAG project will involve partnering with agencies and community members in three rural Arizona counties –Yuma Santa Cruz and Cochise – as well as the Hualapai Tribe whose homelands are in northwestern Arizona.  have existing programs designed to address loneliness and social isolation Those include intergenerational programs that help local youth teach technology skills to older adults so they can stay connected virtually to friends and family elders provide lessons about cultural and traditional knowledge hope to extend the reach of such programs.  "We're just coming in to provide financial resources and to collect data on the folks that are already integrated and using these interventions," Wilkinson-Lee said "We're really a technical resource to them." She and her colleagues will also help develop conduct and evaluate a statewide plan to raise social isolation and loneliness awareness and surveillance and encourage the adoption of intergenerational programs to reduce social isolation and loneliness with a focus on rural Wilkinson-Lee and her colleagues in AzPRC specialize in community-based participatory research which involves working closely with members of a community to develop plans to address that community's public health issues.  This type of work is central to Wilkinson-Lee's research locals who serve as "the conduit between the patient and the health care provider" and are commonly known by their Spanish name "We see promotoras as the bedrock of all of the projects that we work on," Wilkinson-Lee said adding that many of them are volunteers or work for low wages simply because they want to help their communities.  About 10 community health workers will sit on a community action board that will guide the TAG project on loneliness and isolation The board will advise the AzPRC partners on each community's needs as the project moves forward over the next five years especially for a land-grant institution like the U of A "If we do research for the sake of research then we're missing the mark and we're not applying the findings to the communities that are being impacted," she said We should be tapping into the expertise that's in these communities."

life “Ballet folclórico has always been very important to me,” Chavez it’s always been something that’s been a part of my life and a part of my routine my grandma dances and my sisters dance.” Chavez teaches dance for Ballet Folclórico Pueblo Nuevo a Mexican folk dance group of children and teenage dancers ranging from 4 to 18 years old The group performs at community events during holidays such as Cinco de Mayo and Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) They recently performed a dance celebrating Día de los Muertos at the Nevada Museum of Art The Day of the Dead: The Aztec holiday explained in graphics and we like to teach kids about their culture,” Chavez said “We like to bring a part of Mexico to them.” Ballet Folclórico Pueblo Nuevo is one of few groups that dance Mexican folk dance in Reno Mariano Lemus is director of Teatro Sangre Latina a local theater group that performs plays to educate people about the Latino culture The theater group also encompasses two dance groups Danza Azteca Aztlan and Ballet Folclórico Internacional de Reno—made up of both kids and adult dancers had the idea to create plays based on historical events and customs from his home country “We want to augment the love of the culture the love of the second homeland for the younger generations to help them identify themselves with their roots,” Lemus said in Spanish “They need to know about their roots and feel proud of it.” Is it inclusive enough?: Hispanic Heritage Month highlights culture, accomplishments he found there were no groups or organizations that promoted the Latino culture in the area he helped establish Ballet Folclórico Internacional de Reno Lemus said he believes much of the younger generations particularly during Hispanic Heritage Month “It’s sad because in a way we lose a little bit more of our culture,” Lemus said then they can forget about their traditions their culture and knowledge of their ancestral history,” he said “We need to demonstrate to them how immense the culture is in Mexico and how beautiful our traditions are.” Lemus said he hopes his students will want to learn more about their culture and hopefully travel through Mexico when they grow up He said he believes in teaching kids they have two countries they can call home One opened doors and opportunities for a better future “They need to learn about and love one country equally as the other,” Lemus said “That’s a wonderful thing.” who would tell her stories about her dancing days “She would tell me she used to dance and she would show me her dresses,” Chavez said in Spanish “I ended up wearing some of her dresses and that always motivated me to dance.” her daughters sometimes dance with their grandmother They put on performances for the rest of the family the bright flowers in their hair and the vivid makeup Chavez and her daughters immigrated from Guadalajara and started their own dance group in Reno in 2018 that her daughters would become depressed if they didn’t dance I didn’t see much culture,” Chavez said Chavez found a place along South Wells Avenue—often considered as the hub for the Latino community—and called it Casa Cultural de Reno She currently uses the space twice a week as a dance studio so her students can rehearse Each dance they do represents a different state within Mexico “Chiapas is a region where they dance in a way that represents the expression of birds,” Chavez said the movements are like imitating the birds dancing the traditional dance is called La Danza de los Viejitos (The Dance of the Old Men) all of which are handmade and imported from Mexico about the importance of teaching children how to dance “I feel very satisfied,” Chavez said of her daughter’s ability to teach kids “I tell her that what we’re seeding in these children is something great for our community The children who are dancing will always remember these dances They have that little seed implanted in them and maybe one of them will continue to inculcate this art.” Chavez said it has been difficult to teach children who aren’t familiar with the tradition of Mexican folk dance because many don’t even understand the music She said some of her students have trouble expressing the dance to an audience “We have to explain to them and show them how to feel the music,” Chavez said “We are able to feel it because we grew up that way who helped establish Ballet Folclórico Internacional de Reno said he’s had similar challenges to overcome He said many don’t even know the origin of Mexican folk dance they performed a series of dances that represented 10 different states within Mexico Lemus is also planning on having his dancers perform in celebration of Dia de los Muertos in early November Their performance will be a mix of theater and dance His goal is to teach others about the history of Día de los Muertos in which families welcome back the souls of their deceased relatives for a brief reunion that includes music Lemus said he remembers running through the streets of his hometown and smelling the overwhelming scent of flowers and marigold—often used in altars honoring deceased loved ones The bright yellow and orange colors signify the start of Día de los Muertos festivities “You would make the pilgrimage to the cemetery and you would straighten up the graves of your relatives,” Lemus said Family members typically clean and decorate the gravesites of loved one with skulls He hopes the group’s upcoming dance and theatrical performance will allow others to experience Día de los Muertos the way he did when he was growing up “I want to help kids do something positive and help them learn about something beautiful about their culture [through Mexican folk dance],” Lemus said “We don’t just teach them about the dances we teach them a little bit about the history and the culture the basics of what they should know like where these dances originated from Marcella Corona is a reporter covering local underrepresented communities in

культуру индейцев пуэбло на территории штатов Аризона и Нью-Мексико Emplazado en el valle de un pequeño afluente del Río Grande este asentamiento humano construido en adobe comprende un conjunto de viviendas y edificios ceremoniales representativo de la cultura de los indios pueblo de Arizona y Nuevo México This Pueblo Indian settlement in northern New Mexico consisting of ceremonial buildings and facilities and multi-storey adobe dwellings built in terraced tiers exemplifies the living culture of a group of present-day Pueblo Indian people at Taos Pueblo As one of a series of settlements established in the late 13th and early 14th centuries in the valleys of the Rio Grande and its tributaries that have survived to the present day Taos Pueblo represents a significant stage in the history of urban community and cultural life and development in this region Taos Pueblo has been continuously inhabited and is the largest of these Pueblos that still exist with its North and South Houses rising to heights of five storeys Taos Pueblo and the people of the Pueblo itself claim an aboriginal presence in the Taos Valley since time immemorial whose culture and community are active and thriving shows many similarities to settlement sites of the ancestral Pueblo people that are preserved in nearby places such Chaco Canyon and Mesa Verde It is nevertheless unique to this region and not derived from Mesoamerican precedents The property includes the walled village with two multi-storey adobe structures seven kivas (underground ceremonial chambers) the ruins of the first church built in the 1600s and the present-day San Geronimo Catholic Church The Taos mountains (Sangre de Cristo range of the Rocky Mountains) provide the setting for the Pueblo Within these mountains is the 19,425-ha Taos Pueblo Blue Lake Wilderness Area a resource of critical importance to the Pueblo’s living culture and agricultural sustainability intrinsically linked to the Pueblo’s culture is the source of a stream that flows through the settlement Criterion (iv): Taos Pueblo is a remarkable example of a traditional type of architectural ensemble from the pre-Hispanic period of the Americas unique to this region and one which because of the living culture of its community has successfully retained most of its traditional forms up to the present day Within the boundaries of Taos Pueblo are located all the elements necessary to understand and express the Outstanding Universal Value of the property including the adobe-walled village with its important historic and prehistoric features inside and outside the walled area The two main adobe complexes retain their traditional three-dimensional layout Additions and some limited use of non-native materials have not fundamentally altered the visual impression of the Pueblo or its striking evidence of ancient building traditions techniques and materials have resulted in harmonious construction throughout the walled precinct The 19.01-ha property is of sufficient size to adequately ensure the complete representation of the features and processes that convey the property’s significance and does not suffer from adverse effects of development and/or neglect There is currently no buffer zone for the property Taos Pueblo is authentic in terms of its location and setting uses and functions as well as spirit and feeling The Pueblo has been continuously occupied and cared for by the traditional and culturally-based community Adobe requires regular maintenance through periodic replastering which is undertaken as needed by tribal members using traditional materials and methods Some European-style framed doors and windows were introduced in the 20th century The community maintains controls to protect its traditions including the prohibition within the walled area of electrical power lines and piped water supply An increasing number of Pueblo residents have homes outside the walled area; however the old village still serves as the most important focus for intra-village interaction and cultural activities The known and potential threats to the authenticity of the property include the following: the growth of the nearby municipality of Taos which places pressure on the Pueblo to modernize; economic conditions that cause tourism impacts; planned expansion of the existing Taos Regional Airport; and environmental stresses such as forest fires Taos Pueblo is governed by the independent and autonomous Tribal Council Individual rooms are owned by tribal families but the structures are owned by the community as a whole and are managed as such by the Pueblo’s governing body The Governor’s Office is responsible for the day-to-day management and protection of the property The Pueblo holds the status of a limited-sovereign nation within the boundaries of the United States of America The site is part of the original Spanish Land Grant (within the Pueblo’s aboriginal lands) which is held in trust by the federal government for the benefit of the Pueblo The federal government has a trust responsibility for the protection and preservation of the Pueblo as a World Heritage Site This responsibility is fulfilled with respect for its status as a self-governed community The Pueblo’s designation as a National Historic Landmark (1960) requires that any federal government undertakings that may affect or impact the property must be carefully considered and the federal agencies must consult with the Pueblo before initiating any action The Pueblo has always had a comprehensive unwritten preservation strategy that is carried out by tribal members with scrupulous respect for traditional materials and techniques These traditions and practices have protected Taos Pueblo’s structures for centuries through an active monitoring program by the Pueblo’s traditional government and decision-making process This ensures that the living culture and associated historic structures and landscapes are maintained and functional The National Park Service is providing assistance to the Pueblo to develop a written management and preservation plan as well The Pueblo attracts large numbers of visitors and has a formal tourism program which plans to establish a visitor centre The Pueblo is closed to visitors on certain ceremonial occasions and some areas are not accessible to visitors Sustaining the Outstanding Universal Value of the property over time will require protecting it from the continuing challenges of adverse effects which include environmental stresses such as erosion from rain and snow It will also require ensuring that any developments within or near Taos Pueblo do not have negative impacts on the property’s values UnidosUS established the Avanzando

Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker Dec 3 2014 (IPS) - The town’s dynamic mayor assumed the commitment of turning the Honduran municipality of Victoria into a model of food and nutritional security and environmental protection by means of municipal public policies based on broad social and community participation and international development aid The initiative began to be put into practice four months ago It was inspired by what the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation’s (FAO) Special Programme for Food Security (SPFS) achieved in the Tolupan indigenous community of Pueblo Nuevo a village located 15 km from the centre of Victoria In that tribe – as the Tolupan refer to each one of their communities – whose official name is Las Vegas de Tepemechín de Pueblo Nuevo 29 children overcame malnutrition thanks to a comprehensive food security plan implemented over the last two year of what they have managed to do in such a short time,” the mayor told Tierramérica “I grew up near the Tolupan and now that I’m mayor I want to extend this experience throughout the entire municipality of Victoria “They have been empowered so much by their experience that one day I went there to cut sugarcane and I left the stalks in the street I was so surprised when a boy came up and said ‘No Mr we don’t dump garbage here!’ That day I understood that everything they say about this village is true,” he added The tribe’s achievements are based on the use of good practices in agriculture and the development of a nutritious diet Pueblo Nuevo is now a model of food security and nutrition in the eyes of local and international bodies thanks to the local indigenous community’s efforts to improve their quality of life and to their new level of organisation and discipline The swift transformations have included: clean houses which families no longer share with their animals the abandonment of the slash-and-burn technique to clear fields for planting family gardens and reliable production of staple crops like maize and beans “We have shown that we indigenous people are not lazy,” a member of the local Tolupan community “The people from FAO taught us how to manage the soil instead of living with our animals [in the huts] Similar remarks were made by other members of the community The Tolupan live in the mountains of the northern department or province of Yoro and in the central department of Francisco Morazán They are one of the few indigenous communities in this country who have preserved their native language The population of the country is 90 percent mestizo or mixed-race The people of Pueblo Nuevo are so proud of what they have achieved that they want to publish a book to tell their story “This is important,” another villager “They say next year we’ll have electricity that electricity can be good but it can also be bad Bad because if we only sit around watching movies it can lead us to development – not to become rich The municipality of Victoria is home to 29,840 people As a result of the Pueblo Nuevo success story the mayor’s office did not hesitate to accept the FAO-SPFS proposal to implement the Municipal Food and Nutritional Security Programme (Promusan) as a public policy Promusan is a FAO-SPFS initiative being carried out in 73 of the 298 municipalities of this Central American country agency identified serious food security problems The programme is financed by the municipal governments and the FAO Promusan has already chalked up significant accomplishments by bringing together the community the local government and international development cooperation agencies that are working in different villages is to transfer the methodology used by SPFS and other agencies and institutions that work in the area to rural development environmental and food and nutritional security projects Amaya public secondary school with an agricultural orientation which due to the almost nonexistent support from the state survives thanks to the hard work of the teachers and the people of Victoria themselves who have seen the students applying theory in practice teaching sustainable agricultural techniques to local farmers “I used to think agriculture was just about using the machete and hoe but now I know that’s not true,” Josué Cruz “I learned to help farmers improve the soil and their crops,” said the student who is about to graduate from the school with a certificate as a forestry technician “Here in our school we run our own farm and we even have a water harvester that FAO gave us to irrigate our crops.” Victoria is a municipality rich in minerals like gold it will soon have a nearby hydroelectric dam “but one that respects the environment,” the mayor pointed out “My aim with Promusan is to change people’s lives make Victoria a green municipality; we are the least polluted part of the entire department we want to have health and education; we want to be a model municipality in Honduras,” Martínez said he is concluding an assessment to identify the most pressing needs and he has brought together cooperation agencies to avoid duplication of efforts and to outline areas of action “to not just create projects and throw funding around any which way.” two Tolupan Indians are involved in the work in the city government FAO’s Elvín Soler told Tierramérica “they’re working with a strategic plan and everyone wants to follow the Pueblo Nuevo model.” Many things in Victoria have changed: more people now pay their taxes as they see the returns in roads who was reelected for a second four-year term that began this year said he does not want to “rest on my laurels.” This story was originally published by Latin American newspapers that are part of the Tierramérica network Edited by

the actual work did not get underway until 2023 The project is scheduled to be completed in a few months as explained by the government’s Engineer Coordinator MIDH: “The Sarteneja project is progressing well As you’re aware that project involves the upgrading of 42 kilometers of road from Corozal to Sarteneja inclusive of the construction of two new bridges So these two new bridges are basically to replace the ferries at Laguna Seca and also at Pueblo Nuevo The bridge at Laguna Seca has been completed and that has been used by the public as we speak We are currently working on completing the Pueblo Nuevo Bridge and that is the notice that we sent out whereby the last seven girders were being transported The overall project is about 71% completed whereby we have paved approximately 30 kilometers of the 42 kilometers in total and as I said we have completed one bridge and the second bridge structure is about 75% completed Once we place those girders it’s only of the deck formation that is remaining and also the approach And then the last section from Pueblo Nuevo into Corozal Town We have an unexpected completion date of November we anticipate that the bridge itself will be completed by the end of August so that we will eliminate now both ferries from that area and we don’t need to use those ferries again.” Another project that is well underway is the J and W Bridge in Belmopan.  According to Moody this too should be completed by the end of the year MIDH: “The J&W bridge that is the structure that has been constructed in Belmopan in the J&W area That bridge structure is about 80% completed We have installed those girders as well last week So all that is remaining for that is the deck and the rails and the approach to that So with that said that area that is usually susceptible to flooding should not be susceptible to flooding because you will have a bridge that you’ll be able to access in both directions and the flood waters will be able to pass through towards Mount Pleasant So residents living within that area should have a free flow of traffic movement once that bridge structure is completed because we have elevated that bridge structure I think about nine to 10 feet above existing creek level.” Moody is attached to the Ministry of Infrastructure Development and Housing and website in this browser for the next time I comment

of my mother who said that something was burning only to save our lives with what we have on and with us,” said one of those affected There were no fatalities from the accident lamenting that everything was reduced to ashes said that “we could only save the lives of our children.” So far Local March 16 said that “we could only save the lives of our children.” The only thing that the 19 families living in Pueblo Nuevo de Villa Duarte have is hunger after being affected yesterday by a large fire that burned their houses indicated that yesterday the Government sent a truck with food at two in the afternoon and did not receive any help again Molinuevo said that the 24 children and their parents remain hungry this Tuesday because He explained that they built a zinc shack in an area of

Dominican Republic for a month Team president Milton Nunez said Thursday that the 36-year-old guard would play for Pueblo Nuevo He declined to say how much Iverson will be paid Iverson is to arrive Sunday and play for his second-place team that same day against GUG in Santiago province "He and his agent have told us that he has been training a lot and that even if he hasn't been playing anywhere he has what we need to help Pueblo Nuevo," Nunez said Iverson had been considered a potential recruit for the Santo Domingo Lions last year Iverson left the NBA in 2010 and spent part of that year playing in Turkey The installation of the Laguna Seca and Pueblo Nuevo bridges in Corozal allows for easier access to the surrounding areas providing a more efficient route for more commuters While the opening of the Laguna Seca Bridge was received positively by residents some noted that the feeling was bittersweet as they said goodbye to the ferry that has served them for many years Project Engineer Michelan Gilharry told us what now happens to the ferry “So the area that the bridge is located is between the Chunox area of the Corozal district The importance of it is because this acted as a bypass in the sense that you didn’t have to go around through the Progresso village to reach all the way to Sarteneja for the Corozal town area we know it’s a bit of a bittersweet moment in that sense with the ferry but I’m sure that everybody is relieved in a sense that their time is being reduced with respect to the road They have a free flow and that’s the intention of the project What the ministry has intention with the ferry I believe we will try to salvage it and reuse it in other lake locations that it may be needed Ⓒ document.write(new Date().getFullYear()) Great Belize Productions
