DESCRIPTION
Tides Learning Community presents Carlos Tapadera Concheño of One Heart World-Wide, an organization dedicated to saving the lives of women and children. Founded in 1998 by Arlene Samen, the organization works with disadvantaged communities to raise awareness and teach good birth practices. In the 10 years that the One Heart program was active in Tibet, the number of women who died in childbirth annually dropped from 33 to zero. One Heart recently relocated its corporate offices to San Francisco, and manages close to $1 million in donations to support maternal-child health programs Mexico and Nepal.TRANSCRIPT
