Dear Readers, Announcement: The Participant Observer's monthly features (Recipes, Books, International CD's) are taking their annual winter break, but they will come roaring back in the new year!
Perhaps the biggest event happening in the next week is the 67th Annual Las Posadas in Old Town, taking place on Saturday. Also on Saturday, the Persian Cultural Center will host their annual Yalda Night celebration. Next Thursday at Del Mar Highlands Town Center, there will be a Hanukkah Menorah Lighting.
Music and dance events include Golden State Ballet's The Nutcracker, which gets underway tonight at the Civic Theatre. Saturday concerts include Zambomba Flamenca at the Turquoise, Hot Pstromi at Carlsbad City Library, and Christmas in Mexico at the UCSD Epstein Family Amphitheater. On Sunday, Sädesärla with Christopher Adler and Batya MacAdam-Somer will perform at Mission Trails Church.
Other notable events include the Kinfolk Holiday Market at the City of Hope International Church on Saturday, a Fundraiser for Jamaica at The Holding Company on Sunday, the Weihnachtsmarkt Christmas Market at the German American Society in El Cajon (also on Sunday), and a screening of the classic Buñuel film Viridiana at the Digital Gym on Tuesday. Lastly, the Worldview Project, which produces this newsletter every week (and does lots of other stuff too!), is a non-profit organization. Supporting cross-cultural awareness, understanding, and engagement has never been more critical than it is now. As you may have noticed, we don't annoy you with advertisements or constant fundraising appeals. But we need your support to continue to do what we do. In particular we are seeking our reader's help in funding the further development of our Cultures in the Classroom™ curriculum project to inspire children to connect with and appreaciate the wonder of cultures around the world. You can show your support by clicking on the "Donate to the WVP" button above and making a tax-deductible donation to the WVP. No donation is too small— even a dollar would be appreciated!
