Support a Vision and Help Build the Southeast Asian Community in the Bronx
As a follow-up to our October 15, 2008 posting on the South-East Asian Community in the Bronx: Justice is Healing, we wanted to share this invitation from the Youth Leadership Project. They will be holding a fund-raising benefit on 1/31/09 at St. Nicholas Tolentine 2345 University Avenue at Fordham Road, Bronx, N.Y. 10468 from 6PM to 1AM. They are hoping to raise money to support a community center.
Support a Vision and Help Build the Southeast Asian Community in the Bronx.
We believe in the healing and building of the Southeast Asian Community in the Bronx- that we will heal and build through the understanding and compassion we show to each other. Build a community center that will link the generations together; it will be a home away from home, a place of knowledge, strength and power.
We believe in the legacy of struggle, strength and resiliency of people– that the community’s history is important in building toward our future. We can share and learn from our history; pass it down through dance, art and activism. And that the young and the old will rebuild and build a sustainable Southeast Asian community.
We believe in changing the conditions and lives of our community with other communities in the Bronx-
With 10,000 Southeast Asian in the Bronx and a borough with so many different cultures and ethnicity we see our vision for change as part of the struggle to all who want to live free of violence. We are committed to building alliance and coalitions.
