Re: Pesticide Education Materials

[Guest guest]

The California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) posts training

leaflets (the Pesticide Safety Information Series) on its web site. They

can be downloaded in English, Spanish, or Punjabi from

http://www.cdpr.ca.gov/docs/whs/psisenglish (background information

in English) or http://www.cdpr.ca.gov/docs/whs/psisspanish. These

leaflets refer to California laws and regulations, but the safety

practices they advocate are broadly applicable.

Sets of five safety training videos can be ordered for $22.10 per set

in English, Spanish, or Hmong. The order form is at

http://www.cdpr.ca.gov/docs/dprdocs/dpr003.pdf. More recently, DPR

sponsored production of pesticide safety videos in Mixtec. Request

copies of those videos from Charlene Martens at cmartens@....

During the past few months, I have had an extraordinary virtual

journey that has taken me across the country in an effort to

identify pesticide education materials with a focus on women of

child bearing age and young children. Although materials with this

focus have been extremely limited, the journey has given me the

opportunity to make many new friends and discover many new

resources. The information that has been gathered has already begun

to be put to use by providers, researchers, outreach workers, and

others in an effort to strengthen pesticide education efforts

targeting migrant and seasonal farmworker families. The journey,

however, is not yet complete and hopefully you or someone you know

will be able to guide me in the right direction to identify other

pesticide education materials that have not yet been discovered. At

this point, I am interested in identifying not only any materials

that I might have missed relative to women of childbearing age and

young children, but pesticide education materials in general that

target migrant and seasonal farmworkers. I am also particularly

interested in identifying materials available in indigenous

languages as many of the families we serve in NC do not speak

Spanish but Mayan dialects. I do have materials from Wake Forest

University,MCN,Hesperian,EPA, AFOP( Aprende), Farmworker Health

Services (COCHEcito),Oregon (Reducing Pesticide Exposure in Minority

Families), and a few others that I will not mention here. None of

these of course are in indigenous languages although permission has

been received to duplicate at least one of these using indigenous

languages. If you are interested in receiving a copy of the matrix

for your own use and/or for reviewing for feedback, please let me

know and I'll be happy to forward it. Thanks in advance for your

help with this project. I look forward to hearing from you.

It is Great that you are creating this extroadinary inventory of educational material on this subject. Will you be sharing this material with the rest of us that probably need it to create new and unique programs for farm working families in Southern Rural California.

take good care.
