NEW YORK CITY (WABC) — On this episode of “Tiempo,” we’ll welcome back Newark Schools Superintendent Roger Leon-the first Latino to lead the district in New Jersey’s largest city.<\/p>\n

He will enlighten us on the efforts, programs, and directives he launched to improve a school district with an ever-growing Latino population.<\/p>\n

We’ll also discuss the 7.4-magnitude earthquake that struck western Colombia earlier this month, which killed hundreds and injured thousands in the Choc\u00f3 region.<\/p>\n

In response, New York City’s large Colombian community launched disaster relief drives and community vigils.<\/p>\n

Daniela Maria Fandi\u00f1o Santos and Paloma Camelo Vel\u00e1squez from Caring for Colombia join us to discuss.<\/p>\n

Tiempo with Joe Torres airs Sunday at 11:30 a.m. on Channel 7, WABC-TV in New York City.SUBSCRIBE TO THE TIEMPO PODCAST<\/p>\n
