Absolutely deserved.  Daniela has been a leader in our Eastside WA cluster for her entire time on program.  She has shared her multicultural views in Global Awareness presentations in schools, worked hard as an au pair with her host family and host son and volunteered her free time teaching others to have the courage to use their voices using their English abilities.  Read Daniela’s own words in her winning letter about ELLA to APIA here:
