MCN is well known for its culturally competent low-literacy materials that are engaging and memorable. Our extremely popular comic books have reached the hands of tens of thousands of Spanish-speaking agricultural workers on critical topics like pesticides and dairy
worker safety.
So, earlier this year, we began to build a 16-page full-color low-literacy comic book in Spanish with up-to-date information on diabetes. In it, two farmworkers discuss how they live with diabetes. They review how to build their plate with healthy foods and which foods to avoid that Latinos often encounter. Two sample menus share a Latino-influenced plant-based whole foods option in addition to a traditional low-carb, low-fat option. The comic book also includes realistic exercise regimens that don’t require a gym or special equipment, picture-based foot care and good hygiene recommendations, and a pull-out A1c goals page.
After months of work, the comic book is now nearly complete and will soon be tested among clinicians and farmworkers.
But we need your help! We know this important resource will be in high demand in clinics around the country — but there is very little funding to get it printed. Any dollar you donate to this campaign will go directly to printing up the finalized comic book and getting it into the hands of farmworkers with diabetes, so they can get relatable and relevant information that they need to get on the path to health. The comic book will empower people to get healthy, instead of neglecting their illness, which leads to costly complications in the future, or even death.
Thank you for your support of farmworker health!
