 CONCLUSION

• My experience working for Nosotros – Comprometidos A Su Salud has been

very positive in various ways. As I searched for an agency that interested me, I
stumbled upon Nosotros and quickly got engaged in their efforts towards
helping underserved communities with high risks of NAFLD. Learning how to
help our communities working in an ethical and teamwork environment, I had
the opportunity to get hands on experience on real life scenarios which are
making an important impact on the participant’s lives.
