"Safety and Assault Prevention" with NOT ME! Training, and non profit Super Hero Kids Foundation.
Mar. 14, 2018
Heidi Nauman phone 612-708-3676 email: heidi.nauman@gmail.com Heidi is the Assistant Director for the non-profit Super Hero Kids Foundation whch teaches safety and assault prevention for kids of all ages in schools and Pediatric Clinics in the Twin Cities. She also works on fundraising to be able to provide the classes at no cost or subsidized cost for schools and other non profits. Minnetonka District will be the first school district to provide assault prevention for kids beginning in Kindergarten and up. 1 in 7 kids will face an assault before they are 18 years old....90% by people they know, 10% by strangers. About 90% of trafficked victims encountered a sexual assault in elementary years, which makes exploitation much more likely, as well as emotional challenges, substance abuse, promiscuity, risky behavior, and suicide.
She also does outreach and training for NOT ME! TRAINING. Minnetonka was the first public high school to hold annual safety and assault prevention programs for graduates and their parents the last 4 years which empower people to avoid danger, and escape if necessary. In our area, Mount Calvary Church and Oppidan Investments have also been big supporters and hosts.
Heidi is proud of working with leaders in Minnetonka to provide an innovative model for the state of Minnesota, the USA, and globally to take bold initiatives to create the next generations of safer, healthier people.

Impact of Rotary on Women
May 23, 2018 7:00 a.m.
Biography: Mari was born in Guatemala and is a biologist, an entrepreneur and founder of the Wakami system. She is also a mother and a firm believer that collective dreams are unstoppable. My life’s work has been to find ways to link people who are stuck in cycles of poverty to markets that can create cycles of prosperity.
She comes from a country that suffered from a 32 year civil war in which much of the infrastructure of the country was destroyed. The people who suffered the most during the war were always the women and children from our rural communities who faced violence, malnutrition and being displaced from their homes. The challenges in my country seemed hopeless.
She is a graduate Cornell University as a Fulbright Scholar and with a Masters degree in biology but returned to her home country of Guatemala to help stop the cycle of poverty.
For 25 years Maria has created value chains for different communities that produced a variety of products that could connect these communities to the markets. These included the Nativos S, A value chain which is now producing over $1 Million annually of fiber bands for Ron Zacapa rum products; the El Conejo de Sacalá wood products project employing over 500 people in helping the reforestation of Guatemala while also producing income from wood products; and Wakami, an international fashion accessories business which currently sell products produced by rural women in 13 countries around the world.
She is a founder of Vital Voices Central American network and the Guatemalan chapter, a member of the Vital Voices Global Advisory Council, the Leadership Initiative of the Aspen Institute and partners with organizations such as the United Nations Foundation, USAID and Rotary International.
Please make sure to attend this powerful presentation and invite friends and colleagues.
