What Donors Say

Mark Newman
Troutman Sanders, LLP

"You only have a few special opportunities in life to pour back into the community what you have been fortunate enough to receive along the way. I have lived in Atlanta for nearly twenty years and have seen the remarkable growth of the Hispanic community.  I have witnessed the growing pains. Especially now with the economic downturn and the targeting of the immigrant population, it makes me feel so satisfied to support the activities of the LAA.  It is my chance to share with our community – financially and with my time and commitment."

Alberto Smith
Eagle Rock Distributing Company

“Being a Cuban immigrant, back in 1961, I am well aware of what a person or family goes through arriving at a new country. Not knowing what to do, who to seek help from, compounded by the fact of your inability to communicate and most of all the pressure of just wondering how you will survive. These are the pure facts of why I support the Latin American Association. For the past 36 years the Latin American Association has been a beacon of light guiding and offering help to all Hispanic individuals who take the journey here to improve their lives and search for a safer environment for their families. The dedication and compassion that management and employees have is exemplary, the patience to make sure that those they serve leave the Latin American Association with the understanding that the doors are always open offers peace of mind.

Del Clark
Georgia Power

“Georgia Power’s motto is ‘A Citizen Wherever We Serve’ and that rings true with the Latin American Association. Our company believes in giving back to the community and that is why we became involved with the LAA.  The Association’s role in the community is one that helps individuals get on their feet to achieve the American dream.  Whether that involves finding a job, learning English, working on immigration status, or just learning about the community – the LAA has resources to assist individuals with all of those things.  We are proud to have been a partner of the LAA for 20 years!”

Carlos I. Daz
LAPTV

“For me support of the Latin American Association comes down to helping our community to become integrated in a productive way to life in Atlanta. Every single one of the LAA’s programs contributes to the improvement of individual and family life and to the community at large. I urge those who share my passion to contribute in any way you can: with your treasure, your time and your talent. Donate and volunteer and you will see that measure for measure your own life will be enriched as you contribute.”
