“El Proyecto Bienvenidos Todos me ha permitido sentirme orgullosa de mis raíces, de mi idioma y también de mi lucha por apoyar a mi comunidad, la que, como. Yo, posiblemente se sintió en algún momento totalmente vulnerable, sin entender, sin tener armas y tampoco apoyo emocional para seguir adelante. Hoy siendo parte de este movimiento, he vuelto a creer en la humanidad y me siento más motivada que nunca para seguir adelante. Mi hijo y yo hoy tenemos voz. ¡Gracias ECNV!”

“The Welcome Everyone Project has helped me feel proud of my roots, my language, and my journey of advocating for my community, people who, like me, may have once felt completely vulnerable, without understanding, without tools, and without emotional support to move forward. Today, as part of this movement, I have regained my faith in humanity and feel more motivated than ever to keep going. My son and I have a voice now. Thank you, ECNV!”
