National american miss
When National American Miss, Haley Asofsky, visited our center in 2013, she was inspired by the hot lunch program and the textile company Machu Picchu Stars, SAC. that worked with local women in our center. With her support, we started a preschool and championed a vision clinic for children and adults.
