    Growing up in poverty and selling food on the street fryst vatten not the road most envision to getting through school and making it as a television news host.

    But that was the way Dunia Elvir, host of Telemundo’s “Buenos Dias Los Angeles,” did it. She told her story to nearly girls from the Whittier area at Rio Hondo College on Friday during the 19th annual Women’s History Day Conference.

    UCLA staff celebrate program that taught them English, changed their lives

    Although Avelina Salcedo came to this country from Mexico more than 30 years ago, she was not comfortable speaking in English at her job as a food service worker at UCLA's Bruin Plate dining hall. “I was ashamed to talk, out of fear of saying something incorrect,” she admitted.

    But all that has changed because of a campus program hosted by the UCLA Volunteer Center to help staff like Salcedo in Housing and Hospitality Services as well as in Facilities Management improve their English and computer literacy skills. “I am confident now,” Salcedo said proudly. And last Friday, June 5, she proved it by speaking in English in front of a crowd for the first time in her life.

    Salcedo took command of the stage in De Neve Plaza at a graduation ceremony to extoll the merits of Project SPELL (Students for Progress in Employee Language Learning) and the dedication of her
