FREE HEALTH EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN IN ALL THE AMERICAS IS NOW A REALITY.2. OUTREACH AND IMPLEMENTATIONONE OF THE CORNERSTONES OF KIDS-HEAL'S FOUNDATION HAS ALWAYS BEEN HOW TO BE IN THE SCHOOLS WITHOUT PHYSICALLY BEING IN THE SCHOOLS. HOW TO CREATE AN ENGAGING, EVALUATED AND MEMORABLE ONLINE PRESENCE. IT TOOK 4 YEARS OF IN THE FIELD RESEARCH AND TESTING TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO CREATE AND PRODUCE AN ONLINE AND FUNCTIONAL PRESENCE.ANY NEW CONTENT REALLY NEEDS AN IN-SCHOOL PRESENCE TO GROUND IT AND MAKE THE WORK MORE PERSONAL. POORER, AND RURAL, SCHOOLS CAN HAVE CHALLENGES WITH ANYTHING NEW. NEW PROGRAMMING CAN ALSO INTIMIDATE TEACHERS AND CONFUSE STUDENTS. KIDS-HEAL IS STILL FOCUSED ON STARTING IN THE POOREST SCHOOLS AND WORKING OUR WAY UP THE EDUCATIONAL FOOD CHAIN, IN BOTH OREGON AND IN MEXICO.
