WAUKESHA - There are many reasons
why Nancy Velasco joined Lateeno Leadership 4-H Club, but most
of all, she wants to share the pride she has in her culture.
"I’m proud to be a Latina and I want to teach them
that we’re not all bad. We’re people just like them and we
can do something for this country," Velasco, 14, of
Waukesha, said.
Velasco and 11 other Latinos in Waukesha have joined the
Lateeno Leadership 4-H club in order to share the Latino culture
with the community, to develop leadership skills, to acquire new
skills such as Native American dancing and to have fun.
On Friday, Lateeno Leadership 4-H Club will be installed as
the first 4-H Latino community club in Wisconsin.
