Latino/Hispanic Issues, Nutrition |
1. Latinos are hard-workers, they come to the US to work and improve their lives and that of their children. 2. Many Latinos have suffered immensely in their countries. 3. It is very difficult to adjust to a new life in a new country, different language, different culture; yet they succeed at it. 4. Family, friends and God are the most important and central things in their lives. 5. Sarasota County offers many resources to Latinos who want to improve themselves. It is very important to know about these options and programs and take advantage of them – especially classes to learn English
