DESCRIPTION:
A musical fundraising event held every year at The Garfield Center in Chestertown, MD

When Dr. Maria Boria was made aware of the medical needs of the migrant workers in our community, she immediately offered her services.
In addition to providing basic healthcare services, Maria has hired several women from the migrant community to work on a part-time basis assisting with the clinic. This enables her to work more effectively, provide translation services for her patients, job training, a small salary and priceless empowerment for her fledgling staff. One of her first assistants has gone on to college -- the only member in her family to pursue the dream of higher education. Not surprisingly, her goal is a degree in nursing.
As long as Maria continues her volunteer work, our support is needed. She is an example of the difference one woman can make in our world, and her inspiration demands our response.
