Haven't update the page in a while since I'm away at school working on a Masters degree in Public health. I'm learning some exciting new things that will really help make this community health initiative successful. Can't wait to share it with the Lafayette area. Be on the lookout for an update soon. Ruwach will be having some very beneficial events in the upcoming months! Be Blessed everyone-Ashalie
