Scroll down to see a grant opportunity for a Gardening with Kids project. It's aimed at schools; perhaps your library could partner with an offer of garden space (if you have some) and books on gardening.

Achieving Health Equity in an Era of Health Care Reform August 19-20, 2010 Denver, CO Call for Abstracts The Academy for Health Equity (AHE) is seeking abstracts for its 2010 Conference in Denver, CO on August 19 and 20, 2010.

This work included consultations with close to 150 participants from over 60 organizations. A Diagnosis for Equity combines the findings from these consultations with a scan of existing research and key informant interviews to show that South Asian communities in Ontario experience health disparities that are symptoms of social inequity. These disparities include disproportionately higher rates of illness, uneven access to care, self-reported health and the cascading impacts of intersecting determinants of health. This exploratory report indicates that these disparities must be addressed through coordinated community-based action that challenges the social determinants of health, like racialization and poverty, and puts forth recommendations for action. Challenges related to conducting ethno-racial health research are also explored in detail.
