White House to recognize Palestine children’s activist at Cesar Chavez legacy awards

By Ray Hanania

NahlakayaliCaliforniaThe White House will honor 10 Americans including an American Arab involved in Palestinian children’s relief and providing health and social services to needy families in the Anaheim, California area, President Obama’s Office of of Public Engagement announced Friday.

Although President Obama will not be able to personally present the awards to the 10 recipients on Monday — Obama is currently traveling through Saudi Arabia, Israel and Palestine to discuss regional concerns and Middle East peace, senior staff will conduct the ceremony, officials said in a statement.

Among the 10 community leaders who will be recognized with the Cesar Chavez “Champions of Change” honor will be Nahla Kayali, the founder and executive director of Access California Services and is a board member with the Los Angeles Chapter of Palestine Children’s Relief Services (PCRF) which began in 1991 as an association to help Palestinian Children but was expanded to assist all children in need in the Middle East region.

“Each of the Cesar Chavez Champions of Change have committed themselves to improving the lives of others in their communities and across the country. At the core, all of our honorees represent the values and steadfast determination of Cesar Chavez to organize ourselves for a more just tomorrow,” a statement released by Rumana Ahmed, who is spearheading outreach to American Arabs and Muslims under the direction of Valerie Jarrett, director of the Office of Public Engagement.

“These recognitions are part of the Administration’s effort to celebrate Chavez’ extraordinary commitment to a lifetime of service.”

Obama recently screened the new feature film, Cesar Chavez, and said, “One of the great lessons of Cesar’s life (is) that you don’t give up the fight.  No matter how long it takes, no matter how long the odds, you keep going, fueled by a simple creed – si se puede.”

As part of the Administration-wide effort to celebrate Cesar Chavez Day, President Obama signed a presidential proclamation calling on all Americans to recognize the birth of one of America’s greatest champions of social justice by engaging in service. The event date, March 31, is the birthday of the late activist Cesar Chavez.

The recognition comes at a time when governments across America are scaling back programs for American Arabs. In Chicago, former Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who was elected mayor of the city in 2011, has eliminated programs that served Chicagoland’s American Arab community and American Arabs have been excluded from Chicago City Hall events. Immediately after being sworn in, Emanuel signed executive orders eliminating the City of Chicago Advisory Commission on Arab Affairs, and one year later, ended funding support for the annual Arabesque Festival that his predecessor Mayor Richard M. Daley finally launched only a few years before.

Mayor Emanuel  has also suspended the annual Arab American Month celebrations, held in November of each year, a tradition first initiated by the late Chicago Mayor Harold Washington.

Nahla Kayali gave a video tribute, on Youtube, to honor local public official Lori Galloway, who serves on the Anaheim City Council:

AccessCal is a health and human services non-profit culturally and linguistically competent family resource center dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for underserved Arab-American and Muslim-American communities.

Obama’s White House staff praised Kayali’s work on behalf of the needy in the Greater Los Angeles area, noting, “Under Ms. Kayali’s leadership, the organization provides programs in 15 languages delivered by 30 staff including 10 AmeriCorps members.”

Those programs include health access in government programs including ObamaCare, employment services, citizenship and immigration services, mental health services, refugee support services, English as a Second Language and client advocacy.

“Ms. Kayali is described as a foot soldier for her community in making sure individuals and families receive access to quality services,” the statement from Ms. Ahmed notes.  “Ms. Kayali serves on national and international boards including the Palestine Children Relief Fund, Community Action Partnership and the Orange County Food Bank.  Ms. Kayali also serves as the Chairwoman of the Refugee Forum of Orange County and holds the State Refugee Forum Seat for the State Advisory Council on Refugee Assistance and Services.”

The Champions of Change program was created as an opportunity for the White House to feature individuals doing extraordinary things to empower and inspire members of their communities. During the Champions of Change event, White House officials also lead a discussion about how to advance, expand and develop resources and partnerships that will continue to improve the lives of all Americas, including Latinos.

The event will be moderated by Lisa Garcia Quiroz, Chief Diversity Officer and Senior Vice President of Corporate Responsibility at Time Warner Inc., and Marco Davis, Deputy Director of the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics. The event is closed to press but will be live streamed on the White House website. To watch this event live, visit www.whitehouse.gov/live at 10:00 AM ET on March 31st.  To learn more about the White House Champions of Change program and nominate a Champion, visit www.whitehouse.gov/champions.

In addition to Kayali, the White House will also recognize Khin Mai Aung of New York, Germain Castellanos of Waukegan, Sandra Gutierrez of Los Angeles, Helen Gym of Philadelphia, Herb Lee, Jr., of Kāne’ohe, Hawaii, Xavier Munoz of Alexandria, Virginia, Diego Uriburu of Gaithersburg, MD, and Luis Urrieta, Jr., of Austin.

Xavier A. Munoz, AmeriCorps Member / ESOL Instructor with the Literacy Council of Northern Virginia

Alexandria, VA

As an AmeriCorps member with the Literacy Council of Northern Virginia, Xavier Munoz has been teaching English to adult immigrants and refugees in family literacy and beginning-level ESOL classes since September 2012. In addition to teaching full-time, he leads a staff task force to compile and design an online collection of instructional resources suitable for use with learners with low levels of English language proficiency. Raised in Tampa, Florida, and the younger son of two naturalized immigrants, he has a BA in Human Biology from Stanford University and plans to pursue an MA in TESOL in the near future. He started in adult education as a volunteer literacy tutor with I CAN Community Education Coalition in Tampa and came to Northern Virginia to foster that budding interest. He credits the adults in his classes and his experience serving with AmeriCorps for giving direction to his future and takes to heart the mission of the Literacy Council of Northern Virginia to empower adults through English language instruction to “participate more fully and confidently in their communities”. Although advancing from point A to point B comes from the students themselves, being a part of their journey convinces him of a teacher’s potential to be a catalyst for change.
