All Pericleans are invited to come this Friday beginning at 5:00pm, January 17th, to the Lakeside Meeting Room for the official launch of the new book Aqui & Alla/Here & There. This book was authored by Blanca Nienhaus and translated by Dr. Brian Nienhaus, Mentor for the Class of 2013 and tells the story of ‘D’ a young immigrant woman from a very small village in Chiapas, Mexico. Members of the Class of 2013 traveled to
‘D’s’ home village in January 2013 and met her brother who had lived in Alamance County before he was deported back to Chiapas.
The launch event this Friday will include comments by both Blanca Nienhaus and ‘D’ and will be attended by several members off the Hogares Sanos group that was originally formed by the Class of 2013 and is now in partnership with the Class of 2016.
Proceeds from the sale of the book will be used to support activities of the Hogares Sanos women.
