Wyndham City is proud to announce Erica Moncal as the One Wyndham recipient for July.
Erica enjoys being involved and giving back to the community.
Erica currently teaches Taekwondo to children aged 8 to12 years, building up their confidence and self-esteem. She imparts her skills to young people to develop, learn and equip them with self-defence techniques.
Erica studies at a local highschool and through her participation has helped young people and fostered a sense of inclusion and connection.
She also volunteers her time fundraising for children in Africa through the ‘Walk My Way’ initiative and participating in the ‘Right Journey’, which involved packing 20 Christmas Shoe boxes to be sent to Africa for children in need.
Wyndham City Mayor, Cr Mia Shaw, said: “Erica fosters a sense of community in young people and is a positive role model.”
“Wyndham City thanks Erica for her fundraising efforts and her commitment to young people.”
One Wyndham recipients are residents aged between 12 to 25 who positively contribute to the Wyndham community and are role models to other young people.
Each month Council selects a Wyndham resident to be awarded the ‘Young Person of the Month’.
Winners are awarded a $300 gift voucher of their choice and other prizes.
