[cheers and applause] [speaking spanish] [please stand by] [ speaking in spanish ] [ speaking spanish ] [ applause ] >> i will be translating for her. thank you, supervisor kim, for this recognition during latinx history month. i would also like to thank the board of supervisors for the latino community. la voz latina came into existence in 2005 when a new wave of latinos came into the more affordable tenderloin district. what began as a outreach program later transformed into the tenderloin's only resource for the latino community living there. la voz has expanded in so many ways over the years, that we expect this to continue in order to ensure we continue to support low-income individuals and families, men and women of color, youth, and lgbtq community. as a current community leader for la voz latina, i am honored to receive this commendation on behalf of other community leaders, former leaders who helped shape la voz,
