DALLAS, Texas,— You may know that we, the Kurdish youth of North
America, have a vibrant and active community. You may even know that
in the US, we’ve hosted numerous gatherings, including Newroz
celebrations, festivals, conferences, picnics, educational seminars,
fashion shows, dance exhibitions and other cultural events. In fact,
we even came together to launch a very successful Breast Cancer
Awareness campaign.
Each year since 2007, we’ve also held an annual conference. In 2009,
we launched our First Annual Kurdish Youth Festival from January
15-17. Thanks to the excitement and funds these conferences generate,
we’ve been able to expand our impact through a wide variety of
outreach programs, events and volunteer opportunities every year. All
of these activities have been specifically designed to educate and
inspire our guests to better function, organize and mobilize within
their communities.
Coming up next, from January 7-9, 2011, we will be hosting our
largest, most exciting event ever! The Second Annual Kurdish Youth
Festival promises to be a truly unforgettable experience. Thanks to
the collaborative efforts of Kurdish American Youth Organization
(KAYO),
Kurdish Youth Club (KYC) and California Kurdish Cultural (Community)
Center, this three-day festival will feature a wide variety of
programs, including inspirational and thought-provoking guest
speakers, amazing musicians, artists and performers, debates and
roundtable and panel discussions. Guests will have the opportunity to
participate in workshops and seminars on an even wider variety of
topics, such as Kurdish film, literature, music, history, language,
dance, human rights, Kurdish women’s issues, health, politics,
community organization and mobilization, society, current events, and
entrepreneurship (wow, that was a mouthful). Getting excited yet?
Wait, it gets better…
Back for its second year will be our most popular event, “Kurds Got
Talent”. This delightful display will showcase the unique, diverse and
amazing talents of our youth and is open for all to participate. All
guests are welcome to participate and prizes will be awarded to the
top performers. The last show was so successful, we just couldn’t
imagine doing next year’s festival without another one!
Finally, we are deeply honored to announce that educational
scholarships will be provided to two lucky Kurdish students during the
festival, one boy and one girl. After all, Kurdish youth deserve
access to a good education. With that education, we are sure to become
the next generation of political leaders, teachers, scientists,
mathematicians, doctors, engineers, writers, artists, activists, make
vast contributions to our local communities and ultimately shape the
future of Kurdistan.
That’s where you come in. Wondering how this affects you? Well, we
hope you will all make every effort to attend, of course! We can’t
have the biggest Kurdish Youth Festival ever without you! But in order
to make this festival a success and set the stage for another year of
expanded outreach and programming, we need the generous support of
people just like you!
The bottom line is, we need to raise $10,000 by November 2010 in order
to cover all of the festival-related expenses.
You are probably thinking, “That is a lot of money…where does it all
go?” It’s pretty simple, really. We need to pay for the conference
hall, provide honorarium, transportation and lodging for our guest
speakers and performers, cover costs of advertising and ticketing,
sound and lighting equipment, catering, DJ, film crew, tables, chairs,
party decorations, signage,www.ekurd.netprizes for our contest winners
and last but not least, we want to provide the maximum scholarship
amount possible to our two lucky students. It’s easy to see how these
things can really add up and we just can’t do it without you!
No donation is too large or too small! Every dollar counts! Of course,
all donations are tax deductible and we’ll provide you with a receipt
for your taxes, too! Please take this opportunity to make a
contribution in any amount and most of all, we hope to see you there!
