The Purpose of This Fundraiser
The time is upon us to make our Pilgrimage once more! By supporting this event, you will be supporting the Earth Center's elder initiates, teachers and children to make it home for our Pilgrimage this year in August. The Pilgrimage to Merita (Africa) is a vital step in our journey to becoming the best individuals we can be. Our goal is to use the knowledge we gain of Traditional African Culture as a model to build the highest quality communities. With your help, The Earth Center will be able to assist it's students in reclaiming their culture and identity. With the knowledge they gain, they will be better able to serve the community upon their return. Thank you for your support.
