The word heritage brings to mind different ideas for different people, and it should.

The clubs danced, sang, presented plays, poetry and other activities.

According to them, they wanted to feel and experience their uniqueness in their different cultures and celebrated that.

They wanted to expose what they have inherited in the form of family identity, the values, traditions, and culture as experienced by the previous generations.

They believe that heritage can express itself in many forms or ways.

Some families define their heritage primarily as their ethnic, cultural or national identity.

Other families can point to values that have been passed on, such as love for education, participation in community life, a strong work ethic or religious devotion.

People may feel that an inherited aptitude such as music, athletics, or art is part of their heritage.
