Community Impact Report 2024
Reporte de Impacto Comunitario
ALASI is committed to supporting education, advancing access and celebrating culture.
Cultural identity is the idea of myself, a constantly evolving concept that is rooted in my nation or nations, in the way I love and fight, in the land that makes me feel at home, in my medicine, in my dress, the smell of my food, my spirituality and the story we weave.
This is Voces Vivas, where voices are free,
Telling our stories, defining me.
