OUR PROJECTS

Healthy Fish Education Project (Second Year):

United Cambodian Families, funded by the Environmental Health Investigation Branch (EHIB), brings a very important health message about mercury in fish to communities. If you are interested in these workshops or if you have any questions concerning this, please contact Mr. Sophat Sorn at (209) 483-2368 about the date and location near you. Please be informed that each workshop will accommodate only 20 on the-first-come-first-serve basis. So call today to reserve your seat.

WHAT IS MERCURY?
Mercury is a type of metal found in soil, rock, air, and water. It is used in thermometers batteries, lamps and other products. Some industries release mercury into the air, soil and water.

HOW CAN MERCURY HARM MY BABY?
Mercury can harm your baby when you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Babies born to mothers who have a lot of mercury in their bodies may develop more slowly and have problems learning. Young children can also be harmed by mercury. If you are worried about your child’s health, call your doctor.

For the Second Year, UCF Family Success Team is proudly funded by First Five of San Joaquin:

Since last September 2005, UCF got a grant from the First Five of San Joaquin funded through the Community Partnership for Families. Sanny Pho, Case Manager for United Cambodian Families has served so far up to 50+ families and have expanded our Case Management Program to various projects and activities to compliment and necessitate the multiple needs that families have. To model after the template designed and field tested by the Community Partnership for Families, this project is to provide direct and integrated services to its clients. These sub- projects and programs are: Health Walk Project (families come out in the morning or afternoon and walk around Carrington Circle), Healthy Families Cooking (families come together to cook, eat and learn nutritional facts), and Youth Team Leader- ship (over 20 youth come together to meet every Thursday to plan for Fridays' activities).

For further questions, contact Sanny Pho at (209) 981-6440. Our office is located at: Diamond Cove II 5506 Tam O'Shanter Stockton, CA 95210
