He compassionately spent his time teaching migrant workers English as a second language and the value of learning vocational and technical skills. This was only the beginning of what is now known as PPEP. Twentyfive years later. PPEP. a multifunded and nonprofit corporation continues to provide a multitude of social services for our disadvantaged population. Some examples of these vital services include: Affordable housing for migrant workers. necessary sewers and streets enhancement. day care sites. senior nutrition. and recreation centers.

PPEP has made it possible for rural families to experience the dignity they so undoubtedly deserve. The success stories of these migrant families are a testimony to the American dream.
