A complete report on all Atzin programs - by the numbers - is available on the Atzin website. To have a look, go to www.atzin.org. Kindly remember that this report is only "by the numbers," basically counting attendance. The other factors such as quality of care, time and attention, training and supervision of promoters, administration and accounting are just as important, can be really time-consuming and are not reflected here.
As always, we are grateful for your ongoing support - only with that support can we make everything happen!
Sincerely,
Susan
