CURAMRICAS Global a non – profit base in North Carolina that has been dedicated to promote health in developing countries during the last 40 years was in CCATE sharing their methodology an experience in Bolivia, Guatemala, Haití, Kenya, Liberia and Sierra Leona where they have had extraordinary results reducing child and maternity mortality.

About fifteen CCATE parents and adults in two days training reflected on the health challenges of the Latinx and immigrant community of Norristown, and learn about the methodology to work data that can guide further decisions for potential programs.

Ms. Barbara Muffoletto who is manager at CURAMERICAS designed a workshop base in previous conversations that CCATE had in past weeks preparing for the workshop sessions. The parents were very active sharing ideas, making questions and reflecting in how will look like a program of health at CCATE base in CURAMERICAS methodology.

In CCATE we know that this is only the beginning of a long relationship and projects towards to transform the health challenges of the Latinx community of Norristown and Montgomery County.

It was the turn of New York City. Since the year 2016 CCATE has its annual college road trip for the High School students that during the year committed to volunteer  helping younger students in the after school program and that committed to accelerate in their education participating in the High School program of CCATE. The CCATE High School group is leaded by CCATE Director of Educational Programs and Research Dr. Holly Link. Dr. Link made contacts, work the schedule, budget the trip, and work with the students questions and things to learn. Dr. Link included also a visit to the Museum of Modern Art, Brooklyn and Central Park. We had a memorable trip that mark the life of our students. On the trip we have also the companionship of parents and mentors, Salvador González, Diana Lugo, and Christy Arango who help the students at every moment and made possible that the trip was safe at all time.
