Concordia - St. Paul to host Culture camp

 

ST. PAUL, MINN. (07/21/2009)(readMedia)– The Concordia University, St. Paul Hmong Culture and Language Program and Dual Language Learner Academy will host its sixth summer camp with a current registration of over 600 students from local metro, state-wide and students from at least five other states, with over 20 language groups represented. The day camp which becomes a mini-United Nations runs July 27-August 7, 2009, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., on the university campus and in an inter-district partnership as a means of forwarding its mission of preserving Hmong and other cultures through storytelling, gardening and the arts, and planting the seeds of academic achievement and higher education attendance for k-12 students. Students will be involved in literacy, science, computers, tennis, heritage music, dance and historical simulations as a means of strengthening ethnic identity and bridging to American culture. We will have local storytellers, musicians, writers and artists as part of our program this year, including: Dyane Garvey, Diego Vasquez, Seexeng Lee and Jen Yang, Bounthavy Kiatoukaysy and Tsong Sawh Lo, as well as Lee Pao Xiong, Director of the Center for Hmong Studies and Dr. Paul Hillmer, Director of the Hmong Oral History Project.

Recently, the program was listed in the Johns Hopkins University National Center for Summer Learning’s excellent summer programs. President Obama’s proclamation and the information regarding the summer programs are on the John’s Hopkins University website.

Our program is funded through the Travelers Foundation, Minneapolis Foundation, the school inter-district partnership and general registrations, as well as having food provided by SODEXO through the USDA Summer Food Program, and directed by Professor Sally Baas and Nao Thao, SEAT Program Associate.

===== LOVE FROM KB ====

To all the people who had supported us from the beginning and along the way, we thank each and everyone of you. To be honest, we’d never thought the group would expand this big or last this long. It was just a bunch of guys throwing parties in garages, restaurants, basements and small shacks here and there. Kind Beats grew due to the support and love from all of you.

We used to rock small joints and house party’s in basements and garages… now we rock multi-million dollar nightclubs from coast to coast. All of this would never have happened without your support, the fans and freaks who’d come to all of our events. So… we’d like to see all of you, our old and new friends, our co-workers, our relatives, our families, our friends of friends… come out and drink a round or two with us as we celebrate our 7th year bash at Epic Nightclub on Saturday November 29th, 2008. We promise this event will not dissapoint, as we seem to be doing something right for the past 7 years…..

With lots of love and respect,

KB
