  Maria Garza, Director of the South Dade Skills Center (SDSC) at the Miami-Dade County Department of Human Services, stated that the number of migrant workers who are high school dropouts has increased over the years.They often do not take advantage of available services for fear of drawing attention to their status and risking deportation, but Garza says they need to be assertive and fight for their rights to education and jobs.Although Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) has an array of services to assist them in these areas, information on these services rarely reaches consumers who could benefit from them.Garza is a mediator between VR and consumers.

  The Huertas' worries will be a common concern throughout the farmworker community, said Maria Garza, a longtime activist and director of the South Dade Skills Center.
  
  "These people are below everybody's radar," said Garza, a former migrant worker who worked the fields as a child.
  
  The farmers have such safety nets as insurance and federal aid, and rightly so, she said.
  
  "But these workers are completely at the mercy of someone else."
  
  Of the 30,000 people employed by Miami-Dade's agricultural industry, about 6,000 are true migrant workers, meaning they travel from state to state throughout the year, Garza said.

  The Huertas' worries will be a common concern throughout the farmworker community, said Maria Garza, a longtime activist and director of the South Dade Skills Center.
  
  SAFETY NETS
  
  "These people are below everybody's radar," said Garza, a former migrant worker who worked the fields as a child.
  
  The farmers have such safety nets as insurance and federal aid, and rightly so, she said: "But these workers are completely at the mercy of someone else."
  
  Of the 30,000 people employed by Miami-Dade's agricultural industry, about 6,000 are true migrant workers, meaning they travel from state to state throughout the year, Garza said.Another 15,000 are seasonal workers -- laborers who shift their job with each season but have managed, like Huerta, to put down permanent roots.
  
  She fears that with the damage dealt to the nurseries, they may be hard pressed to stay put.
  
  According to preliminary estimates, three-fourths of the $400 million in damage can be found among South Miami-Dade's nurseries.

  In that regard, I want to recognize Maria Garza, the director of the South Dade Skills Center, for her incredible contributions to this community.
  
  Every year since 1976, some 300 men and women - largely farm workers - have come through these doors to receive training and employment, high school GED diplomas, and instruction in English as a second language.
  
  In addition, this institution provides adult basic education and vocational training in such subjects as mechanics, computer repair, welding and even the culinary arts.
  
  What this program does is convert thousands of hard working people into productive citizens - American citizens.A great number go on to receive degrees from four-year colleges.
