The
National Compadres Network (NCN) ends the year hitting a high note. We
recognize how the organization grows with the insight of elders that
have been supportive since its inception. We also acknowledge your
partnership as crucial in facilitating what we do. THANK YOU.
Maestro
Jerry Tello continues to impact communities throughout the country in a
profound manner. He consitently reminds us that our healing and
development will come from individual healing and inter-connectedness.
These teachings, remain the basis of our work as we work to re-connect
the elders, adults, and young people. The growing invitations to support
local and national efforts, such as La Cultura Cura (Transformation
Healing) philosophy, extends within organizations, communities, and
systems throughout the nation.
Reflecting
on the past year, we remain very grateful for the guidance and support
of so many elders, but we will especially miss the presence of Maestro
José Montoya. His teachings, poetic verses, music, and humor will live
on but his voice will leave a noticeable void. NCN is eternally grateful
for his support; we thank his familia for sharing him with us
throughout the years. ¡Un million de gracias!
There
are many people who make NCN such a promising organization. I would
like to take this moment to thank the team for their hard work and
sacrifices. We will highlight members of our staff and partners in our
2014 newsletters so that you too can see who these people are, and what
talents each contribute to make NCN a thriving and growing organization.
As
the year closes, we would like to extend our collective best wishes to
all. We hope the holidays and the celebrations of the new year brings
you, and all those who surround you, happiness and prosperity in amounts unimagined.
Con respeto siempre, su servidor,
Héctor Sánchez-Flores
Executive Director, National Compadres Network
