Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Arts & Culture, Cultural & Ethnic Awareness

Mission: No one speaks the language of Cultures better than World Heritage Cultural Organization, and nothing can capture the imagination more than telling great stories through the Arts. What is a Cultural Identity? From day one, after the Native Indians, anyone who set foot in the United States is also of a unique culture. Throughout the centuries, all immigrants and their children born here, have been part of this great “Patch Work” we call America. It is not uncommon for those who are born out of their native land to feel lost in a sea of different cultures and backgrounds. A Cultural Identity is important. Arts integration is a powerful force that will allow people to experience things directly and develop a strong self identity connecting them to their cultural roots. To understand where you come from and where others come from will help to foster a greater understanding and respect for different cultural values and customs.

In a world where NGO success is sometimes measured by the sum of donations, WHCC is measured by the amount of goodwill and commonalities they lavishly spread throughout the world. Attending an event, participating in WHCC's mission or becoming familiar with those that devote tirelessly to their efforts will convince you immediately of the unmatched value of enhancing peaceful existence through cultural exchange and understanding.

I was thrilled when I found out about Sattie Persaud and the World Heritage Cultural Center. The mission of my company Spice Journeys – and my writing – is also about sharing culture through food and art, as well as innovating storytelling and starting conversations for positive change.

Now more than ever we all need to come together as a global community. Instead of looking at what divides, diversity and cultures should be celebrated and shared – what a better way than through food and the arts.

I am honored to have partnered with WHCC and look forward to supporting and collaborating with this great organization. Expand your world and support WHCC too!

Thank god for organizations such as WHCC! It is the need of the hour for humanity in todays uncertain times. Over the years I have seen it not only celebrating diversity but has also united people across different cultures into one - blurring the so called boundaries that divide us. I have seen it uplift cultures and people through art. Great people who are dedicated, are giving their precious time and really true to the cause are behind this wonderful organization.

Meeting founder, Sattie Persaud and listening to her story and vision of uniting world cultures as one human society was all it took for me to support in any way I could. She brings to WHCC high work ethics, strong beliefs and a sense of responsibility for all humans to count. I have attended her road shows and it really is impressive at the attendance and diversity all under one roof. Thank you Sattie and WHCC.

World Heritage Cultural Center really unites us all as one. It helps us see different cultures and learn from each other. Really wonderful people are leading this nonprofit organization.
I had a pleasure hosting one of their events. The energy was infectious. Highly recommend to use them in your events where you want to showcase people all over the world through arts and food.

As someone with very little time outside of work and family, I must choose how I can be a better person with the most positive impact. Years ago, I was approached by the founder of The World Heritage Cultural Center, Sattie Persaud. While the relationship stemmed for a business transaction, our time was mostly spent discussing subjects with greater weight and seriousness. I quickly took to the idea of how the sharing of cultural knowledge would have a strong global impact. My eyes were open, my heart felt stronger while I watched and listened to her plans to find a central location. It is quiet an undertaking to work with over 500 cultural groups and not have an organizational center to drive this important humanitarian work forward. I have seen the success of bringing people of the world together through art, food, dance and so many of the talents that need to be a shared experience for all people around the world. To this cause I have now devoted a great amount of my life to provide the tools & funds needed for the growth and advancement of the mission of The World Heritage Cultural Center.

In a world where conflicts have become almost the norm it takes many types of organizations to insure that the world remains stable and peaceful. The unique way in which The World Cultural Heritage Center has been successful is their approach. The WHCC seeks to share common, as well as diverse, cultures which allow people to appreciate that there are more similarities than there is differences. Using Art & food, as a universal tool for communication, has proven time and again to be an extremely effective and worthy means to bring cultures closer together. This to me is worthy of the time, money and effort that they can gather which helps them support their classes, expositions, events, opportunities, scholarships and donations in areas that help bring the world together.
