jamarchWorldBeat Cultural Center has served the Global and San Diego Community for over 25 years with our motto “Healing the World Trough Music, Art, Dance & Culture”.
WBC is Dedicated to the Upliftment of Humanity through Culture.
In order to “Keep the Beat” in these transitioning times, WorldBeat Cultural Center needs your help with Donations and Memberships.
WorldBeat Center needs your commitment to help us continue to build, develop and preserve Music, Art, Dance & Culture for the present and future generations. We need to continue to have a Cultural Center in Balboa Park,within which, all people can share each others culture.
You can help the WorldBeat Center by making a donation, whatever the amount. We know you have less to give right now, but we are asking every member of the community to give what they can and, if possible, to commit to giving monthly. Regular donations from as many people as possible can impact our community now like never before. You can give online at www.worldbeatcenter.org or by calling (619) 230-1190, or by mailing a check to: WorldBeat Center, 2100 Park Blvd, San Diego, CA 92101.
Family, Community and Culture is the foundation of Kwanzaa. It is based on the Nguzo Saba (Seven Principles), which should be practiced daily. These principles are the foundation of WorldBeat Center and our logo is the continuation of these principles. Here’s the first three to reflect on.
Unity (Umoja) is the vehicle to overcome the problems that are challenging us today.
Becoming a Member and uniting our common goals, guarantees our continued success in providing the high quality services and programming that WBC has been known for over the years. Of our many programs, WBC has identified five that you can directly impact by becoming a member. The Ethno-Botanical Garden Program, Disabled Program, Children’s Program, Media Arts Program and Arts and Wellness Program. With Self-Determination (Kujichagulia) we can commit to having the strength to overcome our obstacles. We need to develop Collective Work & Responsibility (Ujima) in order for Cultural Community Center’s like the WorldBeat Center and other Non Profit Organizations to continue it’s programming and outreach. That’s to build and maintain our community together and make our brothers and sisters problems, our problems, and solve them together on a national level, on a community and on a family level. Our collective identity is our strength for the future.
WBC’s School of Music and Dance has classes for adults and children, teaching diversity through music, art and culture. WorldBeat Center has the most qualified teachers from different cultures around the world. The center’s 200 annual Cultural Events and programs expose San Diego Area audiences to Cultures from all over the World. WorldBeat Center is the First Solar Building in Balboa Park with future goals to be a completely Green Building by 2010.
It’s important for us to continue to be open with a sense of tremendous generosity, tremendous goodness and tremendous compassion. The more we give, the more we gain. Let’s continue to have faith that we will move through these challenges, we have in the past and we will in the present.
