Radio en español - WUAG 103.1

Dos estudiantes latinos de UNCG presentan un programa de radio en puro español todos los sabados, de 7:00am - 10:00am, en la estación WUAG 103.1

El programa dura solo tres horas, pero que bueno que hay desde que "La Preciosa" ya no es en Greensboro.

Two latino students from UNCG will air a radio program in Spanish every Saturday, 7:00am - 10:00am, station WUAG 103.1

The program only lasts for three hours, but so great that it is here, especially since "La Preciosa" no longer airs in Greensboro.

Gracías a Todos que Participaban en el foro abierto comunitario de United Way

Hola Amigos del Centro Latino La Vela

Gracías por dar su tiempo en participar en el ultímo foro abierto de la United Way en Greensboro. United Way hace un estudio cada cinco años para determinar cuales son las mas grandes necesidades de la gente de Greensboro, y United Way usa esta información para decider cuales programas de servicios humanos deben recibir fondos.

Por participar en los foros, la voz de los latinos se hace un poco más mejor escuchado en Greensboro.

Les aviso cuando los cuestionarios estén disponibles...
