Hi, I'm a new subscriber, a registered dietitian teaching at Eastern Illinois University and directing our dietetic internship, which is a part of our graduate program. Each summer I work 4-5 weeks as a volunteer in Latin America with a literacy organization, Alfalit International, Inc. in nutrition education and community nutrition, with audiences ranging from health professionals, community leaders to low literacy persons, especially poor women. I have written 2 low-literacy nutrition booklets in Spanish which we are using in 20 countries. One booklet includes successful, simple, hands on techniques for teaching nutrition. I am interested in making contacts in Latin American countries, in materials in Spanish, especially low-literacy materials, and in effective needs assessment and evaluation tools. Ruth Dow
