CANCELLED!!!
So our workshop for today was cancelled. I guess it's really no big deal it just gives me more time to work on my research.
Finally Started!!!
August 4, 2010
Finally met with Tu-Uyen today to get started on my research. I will be working on a Lit review to help her and Dorthy put together a proposal in order to get a grant for their research. The purpose is to find out why Samoan woman do not want to get screened for breast cancer. I hope that the information that I find will aid them in getting their grant.

Carson Community Center
July 30, 2010
We went to observe the Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) Commuity as they talked to the Mayor of Carson as well as the Commissioners about the needs of the NHPI Community. It was great to see all the different presenters from each commuity organization and hear what they are doing to empower the NHPI community. It's amazing how our communtiy works togeher in order to help out each other. It's a virtue that most communities don't have and we are blessed to be able to be part of it. The interns had the honor of being introduced to the Board members and it was an honor to be recognized as part of the group that is helping in this movement. I am excited to see what will happen in the next couple of years. I hope that the Commissioners can help bring our vision to the a higher level.

Orientation
On July 8 we started the our orientation for our internship. This experience was eye opening. I think we tend to not see the seriousness that is needed to help make our communitites a healthier. The Pipeline program is a step in the right direction. This is where we start to make in impact and a change that can last for a life time.
