OUR VOICE COUNTS<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

As the founder and chair of the Hispanic LatinUS Leadership Task Force, a grassroots group committed to cultural and leadership events and initiatives, I want to thank our valley for being so hospitable and caring to honorable Dolores Huerta.<\/span><\/p>\n

The event with Dolores Huerta, hosted on March 14, was a total success. The impact it had for the Alturas Elementary School children and faculty was extraordinary. They presented Huerta with a beautiful outdoor reception, alongside poems, pictures, banners and a warm welcome. She spoke to all who were at Alturas Elementary, especially the children, about them having the power to inspire hope and change within the people of the community.<\/span><\/p>\n

After leaving Alturas Elementary, we went to Wood River High School, where Huerta again received a warm welcome.<\/span><\/p>\n

All members there were extremely ready to have her and to listen to her words of wisdom. Key clubs at the high school, such as Nosotros United, Amnesty International and faculty, prepared speeches, questions and words of appreciation for Huerta to honor her presence and her work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before ending the day, we headed to the Sun Valley Inn to wrap it up with a special dinner, reminding ourselves that this March is Women\u2019s Month and Cesar Chavez Service Day. Continuing the momentum is crucial.<\/span><\/p>\n

Huerta saw a packed event where she reinforced and empowered the women with the message of hope in la lucha (the struggle) and happiness and also had a strong representation from the Hispanic Latin leadership and neighboring communities from Boise, Burley, Twin Falls, Jerome, Caldwell and Shoshone. Other parts of the community, business leaders and nonprofits were being represented as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Huerta spoke with power, passion and compassion to the audience, so much that she received a standing ovation and a loud si se puede! It was incredible to be able to see and honor in person someone like her.<\/span><\/p>\n

I would like to thank the Crisis Hotline, COX, H. Property Service, Idaho Commissioner on Hispanic Affairs, S.C. Hispanic Chamber, La Perrona, Women Business Center, Flourish Foundation Compassionate Leaders, Alliance, The Hunger Coalition, Education Fund, and the Blaine County Charitable Fund. <\/span><\/p>\n

NUESTRA VOZ CUENTA<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Como fundador y presidente del Grupo de Trabajo de Liderazgo Latino Hispano, un grupo de base comprometido con eventos e iniciativas culturales y de liderazgo, quiero agradecer a nuestro valle por ser tan hospitalario y atento a la honorable Dolores Huerta.<\/span><\/p>\n

El evento con Dolores Huerta organizado el 14 de marzo fue un \u00e9xito total. El impacto que tuvo para los ni\u00f1os y profesores de Alturas Elementary fue extraordinario. Obsequiaron a Huerta con una hermosa recepci\u00f3n al aire libre, junto con poemas, im\u00e1genes, pancartas y una c\u00e1lida bienvenida. Ella habl\u00f3 con todos los que estaban en Alturas, especialmente con los ni\u00f1os acerca de que ten\u00edan el poder dentro de la gente de la comunidad.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despu\u00e9s de salir de Alturas Elementary, fuimos a Wood River High School, donde nuevamente recibi\u00f3 una c\u00e1lida bienvenida.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Todos los miembros estaban extremadamente dispuestos a tenerla y escuchar sus palabras de sabidur\u00eda. Clubes clave de la escuela secundaria, como Nosotros United, Amnist\u00eda Internacional y profesores prepararon discursos, preguntas y palabras de agradecimiento a Huerta para honrar su presencia y su trabajo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Antes de terminar el d\u00eda, nos dirigimos a The Sun Valley Inn para terminarlo con una cena especial, y record\u00e1ndonos que este marzo es el Mes de la Mujer y el D\u00eda de Servicio de C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez. Continuar el impulso es crucial.<\/span><\/p>\n

Huerta vio un evento lleno donde reforz\u00f3 y empoder\u00f3 a las mujeres con el mensaje de esperanza en la lucha y felicidad y tambi\u00e9n tuvo una fuerte representaci\u00f3n del liderazgo hispano latino y las comunidades vecinas de Boise, Burley, Twin Falls, Jerome, Caldwell, Shoshone. Otras partes de la comunidad, l\u00edderes empresariales, organizaciones sin fines de lucro tambi\u00e9n estaban siendo representadas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Huerta habl\u00f3 con poder, pasi\u00f3n y compasi\u00f3n al p\u00fablico, tanto que recibi\u00f3 una ovaci\u00f3n de pie y un fuerte \u201cs\u00ed se puede!\u201d Fue incre\u00edble poder ver y honrar en persona a alguien como ella.<\/span><\/p>\n

Me gustar\u00eda agradecer al Crisis Hotline, COX, H. Property Service, Idaho Commissioner on Hispanic Affairs, S.C. Hispanic Chamber, La Perrona, Women Business Center, Flourish Foundation Compassionate Leaders, Alliance, The Hunger Coalition, Education Fund y Blaine County Charitable Fund.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
