Body: From: "Anselmo Villanueva"
Grand Opening: Cipriano Ferrel Education Center-- Sunday, Oct. 12

Grand opening of Cipriano Ferrel Education Center:

When: Sunday, Oct. 12, 3:00 PM
Where: Cipriano Ferrel Education Center

Woodburn, OR 97071
With the completion of the Cipriano Ferrel Education Center, the Farmworker Housing Development Corporation has reached a milestone in the history of Woodburn and its farmworker community.
Thanks to the generosity, participation, and support of the City of
Woodburn, farmworker movement activists, public officials, individuals, businesses, civic organizations, the Woodburn High School, and philanthropic foundations, the Cipriano Ferrel Education Center now stands on the grounds of Nuevo Amanecer, a farmworker housing complex located in Woodburn as the product of an important united effort and a provider of services and opportunities for farmworker families.
The new Center will offer a host of services for local farmworker families:
Space for Head Start and day care programs will be available for the
children of low-income farmworkers, as well as 4-H club activities, after school programs, tutoring, and arts programs. Adults will benefit from a computer lab with 15 computers, computer use training, English instruction, and classes in financial management, home ownership counseling, and citizenship. Cultural programs will include festivals, arts and crafts displays, theater, music, and other activities for both farmworker families and the general public in Woodburn. The Center is also exploring with Chemeketa Community College the possibility of providing additional English classes and vocational trainings.

Bush's Elementary and Secondary Education Act) includes provisions which further disadvantage those who are learning English.
