Supercourse Newsletter, June 5 2003
-----------------------------------
Dear Friends,
We just had to write to you to tell you some fantastic news:
Faina completed the Golden Lecture, it is available today at:
http://www.pitt.edu/~super1/
Faina and Eugene and did a fantastic job. It is a WONDERFUL lecture.
We are in the process of translating this into 13 languages by
friends in the Supercourse. We will include the name of the transla-
tors for each lecture. It is downloadable as a PowerPoint file as
well at HTML. In the next newsletter we will overview the languages
to which the lectures will be translated, and who is helping to
translate worldwide. We have a great global team. It is really good,
and we all will learn something about prevention by reviewing it.
WOW
You may ask why we are saying "wow". It is because of our good friend
Mario Estrada from Cuba. Yesterday morning we began discussions of
how to reach a million people. Faina, Mita, Wendy, Akira and I sat
around the table thinking that we had reached about a 1,000 people,
not bad, only 999,000 to go! We were well on our way. Then at 1:00
PM, because of Mario and our friend in Cuba, we will reach almost
half our goal. Truly extraordinary. Think about if you could do some-
thing like what Mario is doing in Cuba. At 3:00 we decided that per-
haps we should revise our goal, instead of a million people, let's
try for a BILLION!!! Please write to <ronlaporte@aol.com>, and sug-
gest new distribution ideas.
Ron and friends: In Cuba we think that on Friday September 3, all the
Medical Sciences University (18) and another Health Schools (more
than 30 for nursery, health technician, etc.) will be in Prevention
Day, to the same hour, near to a PC, and learning from the Golden
Lecture. That means that more than 400,000 medicine and other univer-
sity students, thousands of nurses, technician, high school students,
professors and other health workers in hospitals, institutes and in
PHC will be in Global Supercourse. We are working to nominate the Cu-
ban Prevention Day that day. What do we need? To have the Spanish
Golden Lecture at least one month before in order to distribute it
through all Cuban medical nets, national and province TV stations.
What do you think about?
Lets chase a billion people to give them prevention!!
Marcio, Ron, Faina, Mita, Eugene, Abed, Soni, Akira, WoW, Wendy, To-
