About
2019 was a time of transition for Harambee. After years of Harambee Preparatory School (HPS) offering a quality K-6th grade Christian education, the City of Pasadena required HPS to do major facility changes in order to continue to operate. The changes required would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Harambee Ministries Board made the difficult decision to close (HPS). Despite the decision to close HPS, Harambee has been able to flourish under the leadership of our Executive Director, Albert Tate. Albert established a new partnership with Victory Bible Church and Fellowship Pasadena to bring an array of programs to serve the students of PUSD and the surrounding community. Harambee has also been able to maintain a strong relationship with our historic community partners, La Canada Presbyterian Church, San Marino Community Church, and Lake Avenue Church.During 2019 Harambee collaborated with Pasadena Unified School District, to offer an after school program called Harambee Performing Arts (HPA). The summer included a four week Performing Arts Summer Camp. Over 70 students participated in the program The program ran weekdays from 7:30 AM-5:45 PM. Students learned many aspects of performing arts from beat making, drums, production, piano, dance, to acting and singing. The summer camp was held at Franklin Elementary; culminating performance entitled Motown Revue. Families were so excited to see their loved-ones perform that there was standing room only in Franklins 600 seat auditorium. In the fall, we held our annual Harambee Fest, a community event at our 1609 location. Over 300 children and families gathered to celebrate fall with free food, games, booths, music, and dance. Over fifty church and community volunteers made the experience a joyous expression of fall.Lastly, on December 21, 2019 HPA students performed The Way, in Living Color Families had the opportunity to hear the story of Christs love through the arts. John Muir High Schools auditorium was full of excitement as students received a standing ovation from over 1,000 audience members.
