DFW International Community Alliance announces the newest editions of two of their guides: Guia de Servicios Economicos de Salud and Guide to English Classes (ESL) for Adults. The first guide is sponsored by Pfizer, with additional funding from AETNA and The Meadows Foundation. The ESL Guide is sponsored by Verizon. These free 32 page directories are now available at libraries in Dallas, Irving, and Plano, as well as from the Mexican Consulate, Dallas Concilio and school districts in Dallas county.
"Literacy is one of Verizon Foundation's major funding priorities due to its enormous impact on education and economic development," said David Russell, Verizon Vice President-External Affairs. "Verizon is pleased to partner with DFW International to provide new residents with access to literacy and educational services."
The first title in DFW International's series of guides was published in 2003, and currently seven directories are available, offering basic information for North Texas residents. According to the organization's 2005 report, 40% of North Texas residents are immigrants (foreign-born and their children). In addition to distribution through libraries and organizations, all the titles are available as downloads from the DFW International Community Alliance website at www.dfwinternational.org/resource_center/.
