Dear Primos and Friends:

September 15 is the start of Hispanic Heritage Month. Do hope you will take the occasion to share your history in some manner with family and friends.

Somos Primos issues are always packed with lots of heritage and cultural information which can be used as points of conversation for promoting Hispanic Heritage Month.

In addition I invite you to go to a resource designed for use by teachers in the classroom and youth leaders during Hispanic Heritage Month.
http://www.somosprimos.com/heritage/heritage.htm

Keeping up with the great growing interest in DNA, this issue is particularly full of DNA information. Not only will you find eight articles on human DNA, but also the first assessments of global information on horse DNA which is just beginning to be released from a world-wide study. Somos Primos interest in horse DNA is because our ancestors took those horses all over the world and the horse DNA proves it.

Do look at the listing of the monthly articles published in Somos Primos by educator Dr. Eddie Calderon, Ph.D. Eddie has submitted two articles monthly for the last 5 years on the Philippines and Filipinos. The compilation is a cultural treasure of linguistic, historical, social, and cultural insight. I am proud for Somos Primos to be the home for Eddie's informative writings.

Thanks to all who who send personal stories, articles, event notices and happenings. Somos Primos is enriched by the great diversity.

Big hug and God Bless, Mimi
