I haven’t been in the U.S. for very long. But since this institution was established, it has grown throughout the years, and has been emulated by programs in other cities and states throughout the nation due to its organization and structure, and especially thanks to the wonderful guidance of the executive director, Mrs. Maria Marroquin and her collaborators.

As you know, the objective of the Day Workers Center is basically to serve the community, offering qualified workers to provide various services like carpentry, construction, gardening, plumbing, painting, etc.

El mes pasada se celebró el 15 Aniversario del Day Worker Center de Mountain View California y se realizaron varias actividades para comemorar esta fecha tan especial.

Unos de los eventos se realizó el dia sabado 12 de noviembre en el CSMA Finn Center de Mountain View. Se proyectó un documental sobre las historias de algunos inmigrantes que cruzaron la frontera para venir a los EE.UU. para mejorar su calidad de vida y cumplir su sueño americano. Otras de las actividades se realizó el dia domingo 13 de noviembre donde hubo actividades deportivas y de esparcimiento.

Desde que se estableció en Mountain View el Day Worker Center hace 15 anos esta organizacion fue y es de gran ayuda para los inmigrantes, especialmente de los países latinos, que cargados con todos sus sueños y anhelos, llegan a este país para darles todo lo mejor a sus familias.

Tengo relativamente poco tiempo en los Estados Unidos pero sé que desde que se instauró esta institución ha ido creciendo en el transcurso de los años, incluso siendo emulado en otras ciudades y estados a lo largo de toda la nación ya sea por su organización y estructura y especialmente gracias al gran manejo de su directora ejecutiva la Sra. María Marroquín y sus colaboradores.

Como se sabe el objetivo del Day Workers Center es basicamente servir a la comunidad, ofreciendo personal calificado para realizar trabajos en diferentes actividades como carpinteria, construcción, jardineria, plomeria, pintura y otros.

Los trabajadores en el centro toman diaramente clases de ingles para mejorar su comunicacion. Adicionalmente se dan clases de computacion, blogging, costura y tambien reciben capacitaciones en diferentes temas relacionados con el trabajo.
