Congratulations Sela!

Last night we attended the ACT Multicultural Awards where our inspirational Chair and President of the Multicultural Women's Advocacy (MWA) was nominated for the ACT Advocate of the Year.

Our heartfelt Congratulations to Sela, who was named ACT Advocate of the Year 2011

Sela and the MWA Team

Sela's unwavering dedication to giving CALD Women in the ACT an opportunity to find their voice, learn new skills and gain confidence in various areas of business, industry and employment has been remarkable.

The Multicultural Women's Advocacy Inc's Employability Partnership Program (MEPP) was specifically designed for Migrant & Refugee Women of CALD backgrounds and is the culmination of Sela's dedication to her Advocacy work for Women.

Sela is the Voice for many Women and her constant lobbying to create awareness of the issues faced by many of these 'lost' women is truly extraordinary.

When Sela made her acceptance speech, it was so full of passion and heart that it stopped the room ... Sela's words were so heartfelt that you knew, without a doubt, that they came from her soul.  Sela had the room in tears as she shared her story about how she arrived at this point in her life and what being an Advocate for Women really meant - she was born to do this.

Congratulations Sela!  You are an inspiration to us all!
