The first day of our orientation we had our leaders, Alisi, Joe,Joey, Diana, Keith ,Tana,Jay talk to us, the interns about what our project is going to be. What the project is going to be based on is the Pacific Islanders and their health. They gave us books that mentioned the health of the Pacific Islander Community and how it can affect our lives. We got into at least four groups, and each group would talk about what health problems do we have, how can we prevent it and how it can it to happen. I learned that the four main diseases that we the islander people have is Diabetic, heart failure, obese, and diabetes. What causes these four main health issues to happen are the food that we eat, and what its mainly made out of, which is grease. Next time we meet, its going to be with our leaders and group.
