The 5th Principle of Kwanzaa: Nia
“Cultivating Our Youth for Their Divine Purpose”
Wednesday, December 30th 2009
6:00 p.m. Reception, 7:00 p.m. Gathering
Please join the AAACC in our 4th year of collaboration with the Village Project in celebration of the African American holiday honoring our ancestry, our heritage and ou...r culture. This event hones the spiritual, social and cultural purpose and responsibility that each of us as Africans descendents bears to our community and posterity. In Africa and American celebrations, Kwanzaa places an emphasis on children as the key to the survival and development of the community. In both the biological and cultural sense, the importance of these traditional festivals are to bond the generations, celebrate the collective hard work to nourish and provide for the community, and to educate our children about their traditional greatness and the role they play in creating a bright future for humanity.
The event begins at 6pm with a FREE reception and follows with the Kwanzaa gathering at 7pm. For more information call 415/922-2049 or visit www.aaacc.org and the AAACC Facebook site at facebook.com.
