Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
In 2021, there were 12.5 times more White (Non-Hispanic) residents in Bowling Green, KY than any other race or ethnicity. Kristi Shive, Warren County Family and Consumer Sciences Agent, partnered with the Warren County Homemaker International Chairpeople to offer a Homemaker International Day to educate the community of other cultures. Kristi asked Magally Martin, a native of Costa Rica, to speak at the Homemaker International Day event. Magally educated Warren County residents on historical and geographical aspects of Costa Rica. Through her presentation, attendees gained a deeper understanding of the country's traditions, customs, and way of life. The day was not only informative but also immensely enjoyable, as participants broadened their horizons and celebrated the diversity of our global community.
The event fostered cross-cultural appreciation and learning among all those in attendance. It also provided a rare opportunity for local Costa Ricans to come together, exchange stories, and reminisce about their shared experiences. The Homemaker International Day not only bridged geographical distances but also served as a reminder of the enduring connections that unite Costa Ricans, no matter where they reside.
