ECC Children Put up an Impressive  Performance: Show Their Language Skills

 The Eritrean Community Center (ECC) in Santa Clara County hosted an event that officially launches its Tigrinya language class for children yesterday, Sunday September 18, 2011. Parents, including children who attended summer Tigrinya class as well as individual guests and friends of the ECC were present.

Tigrinya performance by the children who completed Tigrinya summer class at the ECC added zest to the event and impressed audience. The children entertained the audience, presented poems and drama in Tigrinya, as well as danced to Tigrinya music. The theme of their performance underscores the importance of learning languages and the language of your origin particularly to reflect and uphold your identity and heritage.

 Representatives from parents of the students expressed their satisfaction on the outstanding language progress and aspiration indicated by the young children to learn Tigrinya and indicated their support and gratitude to ECC for initiating the language classes.

Tigrinya language is a Semitic language spoken by Tigrinya ethnic groups in Eritrea and Ethiopia. The 15 children who enrolled in the Summer Tigrinya class at the ECC were from Eritrean American and Ethiopian American families.  The Tigrinya language classes are an ongoing service that the ECC is committed to provide to all families.
