How would the requested funds be used? ^ Describe, in detail, the PROPOSED PROJECT/PROGRAM (not the Agency). ^ Bulleted text is acceptable. ^ Identify if the proposed project/program is a new service, or extension of an existing,one. ^ An additional page may be added,.. if needed: This school,year Wellscampus is in the process of developing a h~Iulti-Cultural Cookbook, The Flavor of ourCultures, which will completed b~~ 1~ Ia~~. it is an excellent-format for sharing the wonderful cultural diversity we have on campus. R'e are collecting from ourWells families and staff, contrbutionsof special family recipes which hold cultural as well as familial significance. Included with the recipe will be a small para~araph discussing how and why the recipe is so dear to the family and what special memories it brin~~rs to mind ~-vhen made for family and fl-iends. This is a special wa~~ to share the flavors of our cultures with each other, via an element common to all cultures and herita~~es...food. In''conjunction with the publication ol~ the cookbook, during the ?009-?Ol 0 school yearwe would like to hold an event titled.. "A Taste of our Heritage'" and expand the horizonon addressing''not only our sch~ol'.s but the multi-cultural community that can be found in Dublin and on a grander scale. in the State of California. This event will be open to ourrrWells families and the Dublin Community. The cookbool: will be a main feature at theevent where students and then lamilies may purchase the cookbook. We envision this three-hour, spring evening event consistiug'of "HeritageTables"; each table will feature a recipe from the cookbook. prepared bya Wells family or staff member. This is an opportunity to taste. learn and explore the various heritages on campus through the sharing~of fooditems which hold special meaning to our families and staff. Wells Leadership students will be essential helpers at the event. We would also like to have an exciting variety of performing arts: dance, music, vocal performances and readings. In addition, a~book fair coordinated by our school librarian, will feature books for sale representing the many heritages to be Found on campus. There will alsobe,books available in other languages such as .Spanish and Chinese. We' seek to touch base with members from the community to see about partnership/sponsorship forthe event. Lee Jouthas,~Dublin Library Manger; has been approached and graciously agreed to have the Wells, The Flavor of our Cultures Cookbook, as part of the Dublin Library's collection. b. How would the PROPOSED PROJECT/PROGRAM address an unmet community need and improve the quality of life for Dublin residents. Why is this project/program needed? (Additional page may be added; if needed): With-the continued growth of the many cultures on our campus, we would like to not only recognize the diversity but to embrace it with open arms. Our SECTION 2 Page 5 of 20 campus, with its ethnic diversity, is a microscopic environment of society at large. We feel a responsibility to ensure that our students grow, experience and learn of the positive aspects such diversity can bring. What better way to do so than through the sharing of food and drink. There are times when the unfamiliar can breed fear and bring distance between members of a community. Sociological research shows us that the younger a child is taught a value, the greater the inclusion of the value and belief. Before they become full fledged teenagers, before our window of opportunity closes as our students move on to high school, we strive.»to provde< and instill each one with the understanding, the respect and the ~=sponsibility'to_be given to ores fellow man. There is a glob=-, Human tip, fi~_ut binds us to each other, no matter what differences m- ^°~ist in our r~ c'_tage c r culture. ?ve` are all brothers and sisters in thl:• =rtity called ti-= =uman Race.
