Hello list members,

The org I work for is embarking on doing 'something' in the area of cultural
diversity/cultural competence. We are health promoters in maternal, newborn
and early child development. We may be developing a resource guide, manual,
coordinating a conference, or creating a website. 
It's all up for discussion at this early stage, however, we are asking
ourselves the question "What *is* cultural competence for service providers?
What does it mean to be culturally competent?

I've done some online research and visited some great sites, but I thought
it might be interesting to see what kinds of responses come from NAME. 
Though we are in health promotion, education is clearly part of that.

I'll collect responses and post a summary back to the list.

TIA for your ideas and contributions,

ZS.
