Speaking to graduate students in Puerto Rico

On December 8th I was in Puerto Rico visiting friends. Winna, a professor at the University of Puerto Rico, San Juan in the graduate school of nutrition invited me to give a talk to her graduate students about our projects in the Dominican. I spoke about the important role that nutrition plays in our programs.

Winna is responsible for getting me involved in the DR. While a graduate student at Cornell she went on a field trip to the DR. When Winna returned she asked me, then pastor of St. Catherine's, Ithaca, NY, if we could not do something to help the people there who are so poor; and so began my relationship with the DR.
