Hi:

I am celebrating Kwanzaa at my home again this year. Kwanzaa was created to introduce and reinforce seven values of African Culture which contribute to building and reinforcing community among African American people as well as Africans  throughout the world African community.

These values are called the Nguzo Saba (in-goo’-zo sah’-bah) which is in the Pan-African language of Swahili means the Seven Principles.  These principles stand at the heart of the origin and meaning of Kwanzaa, because it is these principles/values that are not only the building blocks for the community but serves also as its social glue. I hope this can help you. Kwanzaa is celebrated beginning December 26th thru January 01 of the new year.

From,

Iva V
