Dar a Luz

Hi,
I am starting a chapter of Dar a Luz in my community and was wondering if anyone else is involved with Dar a Luz in their community? Maybe we could network a bit? I am totally excited to be starting this and would love to meet others involved or interested....

Oh...I just wanna say how beautiful the meaning of Dar a luz is!
Dar a luz in spanish is the term for "birthing" and it literally means "to give (bring) light".
Isn't that just beautiful

Welcome! Hi, I'm a co-leader for the Troy, OH Chapter. It's a great organization. You'll love it. Once you become a leader (maybe before) you will have access to the leaders yahoo group where we can all share about our chapters and get ideas from each other.
