CHAA advocate recognized by Consulate of Mongolia in San Francisco

On Tuesday, January 10th, CHAA's Mongolian Community Wellness Advocate was recognized for her community service by the Mongolian Consulate on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of Mongolian independence.

The new Mongolian Consulate in San Francisco got in touch with Elma through the Bay Area Mongolian Association, which named her due to the health and wellness work she has done with the community. At her award ceremony, Elma informed the consulate about her personal experiences dealing with health issues within the community. Getting in touch with advocates such as Elma gives the Mongolian consulate and government some ideas as to what the needs of Mongolian diaspora  are so that they may possibly assist and help with community efforts.
