Aunque Cerca...Sano Pesticide Comic Book Now Available

[Guest guest]

This 16-page, full color, Spanish language

comic book targets migrant and seasonal farmworker families and helps educate

parents about children's risks to pesticide exposure and ways to minimize these

risks. It was developed in 2003 by Migrant Clinician Network (MCN) and Farm

Safety 4 Just Kids (FS4JK) and funded by the National

Children's Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety (NCC). The 40,000 plus copies that were

distributed after its first printing have been extremely well received. Thanks to generous funding from NCC,

this comic book is now available again. Contact

Farm Safety 4 Just Kids to get your free copies of the book. There will be

shipping and handling charges applied to each order. 1-800-423-5437 www.fs4jk.org.
