| Hi! Patricia:
I still have some questions for you or for Dr. Siyad. Can you please answer these questions for me and e-mail back to me. Please let me know if this is a problem. Thanks so much. Here they are: 1. How does the Somali Community address the single mothers, of any age, but especially teens? 2. What about the fathers of the children that the single moms are parenting: how does the Somali Community handle them, or is there a response to them? 3. What social issues exit? : ie: housing, need for English classes, etc. 4. With Somali language being mostly an oral tradition, what suggestions for all the letters we need to send? 5. Any pertinent information about traditional family structure, customs, holidays (ie with certain requirements like times of fasting, certain forbidden things, like prok, etc...) Thanks for doing this!! Walter Yang Community Health Specialist Medica State Public Programs Mail Route 80280 5601 Smetana Drive Minnetonka, MN 55343-5012 Phone: 952-992-2032 fax 952-992-3550 |
