I am writing to endorse World Language Initiative MT as a recipient of the upcoming grant endorsement. My
daughter goes to Hyalite Elementary school, and at pick up and drop off I often hear more Spanish than English. I
see parents from other countries just being parents. Moving here to work the jobs so many others will not, or
cannot, or got priced out with housing. People who are becoming essential to our community and the backbone of
the workforce, and I get to see how hard they work to show up, work hard, and offer a great life for their kids. I've
lived in Latin American countries for multiple years and have experience first hand how hard it can be to understand
the nuance, find your community, understand how things. And the helping hands that taught me the language, gave
me the opportunities to connect, and showed my how to be a good local citizen are what allowed me to thrive in
these experiences. I think we owe these newcomers the same opportunities and WLI offers that!
