Hosts Carlos Gonzalez and Luz Maria Lopez welcome Alma Perez of Wells Fargo to the show. Alma is an expert in the Remittance Network Expansion Program and shares news of past and current trends in how Spanish speakers in the U.S. send money back to their native countries. Through the expansion program Wells Fargo will offer money transfer services to eight more Latin American countries, including over 1,500 locations in Mexico through a partnership with Telecomm Telégrafos. They also offer financial literacy lessons to Spanish speakers through their website www.elfuturoentusmanos.com. Hola Bloomington also highlights this week's community events and volunteer opportunities in a segment prepared by Jenny Gibson and Daniel Soto. As always we feature cultural and health segments produced by Nuevos Horizontes, a program of the University of Illinois Extension, and news from Democracy Now! Enjoy another segment of Efemerides, celebrating significant moments in Latin American history. Technical support provided by Miguel Lara.
