Our family invites you to our

Kwanzaa Karamu



on

Saturday December 29th

11:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M.

at the

Albuquerque Baha’í Center

5700 Ouray NW; Albuquerque, NM

Kwanzaa is a non-religious, African-American, cultural celebration of life, of hope, and of the future. It is a time for family, friends, and community to grow and strengthen together through the recognition of Nguzo Saba, the Seven Principles:



Umoja (Unity)



Kujichagulia (Self-Determination)



Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility)



Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics)



Nia (Purpose)



Kuumba (Creativity)



Imani (Faith)







Celebrate with a feast known as Karamu! There will be eating, dancing, drumming, lighting of the Kinara, story-telling and observation of the seven principles in action!



Please participate in creating our Karamu by bringing:



1. An African or African-American dish to pass (suggested recipes available upon RSVP)



2. A small, educational or cultural gift from each child in your family, under the age of 15, for our zawadi (gift) exchange. Preferably, gifts should be $5 or less and/or homemade.



Please contact Gerri at 898-4454 or Deborah at 260-4837 for more information or with questions.
