Time Well Spent

Planning Unit: Garrard County CES

Major Program: Nutrition and Food Systems General

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

Time well spent:

 

 In the past four years I have worked with the organization Refuge for Women, this is a recovery group for ladies that have been in Domestic Violence and Sex trade industry, who are ready to get out. These ladies have had tough lives and some if not all have other things in their lives like drugs and alcohol to self-medicate.

In the four years that I have worked with these ladies I have had 175 women enroll in my program and 169 of them Graduated my program. Of this group of 169 graduates 100% of them have all shown improvement in one or more areas of nutrition education. These ladies worked hard to make a difference in their own lives, and I have been fortunate enough to be part of their healings.

NEP does make a difference, and every minute was Time Well Spent
