High school student journalists share
stories about health and wellness

Students participating in the 2018 Journalism in July Workshop on July 22-29 at the University of Texas at El Paso took their pens, notebooks and cameras to the streets of El Segundo Barrio to get a look at the stories regarding health from the heart of our city. The students began their training on the UT El Paso campus with lectures and demonstrations on traditional newsgathering and new multimedia skills taught by professors and area news professionals. Then they went into field to apply their new skills in professional news reporting followed by video editing and web posting. See a collection of their stories in the section below.

Colorful costumes adorn Folklórico performances at Centro La Fe

By Journalism in July | July 28, 2018

Vibrant colored skirts glide through the room. Dance music pumps from all corners of the studio. The young dancers of Centro Salud Familiar La Fe chuckle as they buckle their shoes and assemble props in preparation for the cue to walk on stage. El Centro de Salud Familiar La Fe has become the solution for many parents struggling to find programs nearby for their kids to participate in. Girls facing the lack of recreational activities in Segundo Barrio have the opportunity to learn dance at Centro La Fe, through the Ballet Folklórico Toltec La Fe program.
