The Sarasota/Manatee Farmworker  Supporters are sponsoring a

very important and exciting public meeting on Farmworker Health

to be held on Saturday, August 7th, 2004, 2:00pm, in the Selby Library

auditorium in Sarasota.
The two speakers will be: Tirso Moreno, head of the Farmworker Association of Florida, an organization

in the forefront of the fight to help the farmworker improve his daily existence; and Dr. Luis Moldonado, an expert on pediatrics and the illnesses of farmworkers.

Dr. Moldonado is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the USF College of Medicine and a director of Pediatrics at Healthpark at Tampa General Healthcare.

Problems of pesticides, work injuries, stress, poor nutrition and neglect will be
