Our "Celebrating Cultural Heritage" program's aim is to celebrate our cultural heritage in a variety of ways and events. Events may include cooking lessons, celebrating significant calendar cultural events, and currently, we have Cultural Heritage and Arts: Exploring Heritage Through Art for Girls and Boys" pilot project aims to promote cultural appreciation, creativity, and family bonding through the power of art and storytelling. We believe the project results in well-rounded children, with increased confidence, creativity, and appreciation of their cultural heritage. Additionally, the children will have developed valuable artistic, craft, and computer skills along with a sense of pride in their identity. The project came about as a tribute to Cesario (Cesar) Estrada Chavez (an American leader and civil rights activist), who is quoted as saying, "Preservation of one's own culture does not require contempt or disrespect for other cultures." The children have completed 3 sessions: first was creating vinyl stickers; second was creating customized mugs; and third was creating customized t-shirts. The stickers, mug, and t-shirts used either the children's drawings or online designs. The inaugural offering of this project is in its final phase for this first offering. A second offering is anticipated during late summer/early fall. Continuation beyond the second offering of this pilot project is contingent upon donations and community interest.
